Question Voltage vs. Resistance HELP!!!

Okay i need help fast, i think my tps is bad. Fully warm i set the tps at 1 kohm but if i check the voltsdc i get 1.46v.

Aren't these two methods of testing the tps supposed to be close to each other??
Would those reading being off that much mean i have a bad tps?????

The FSM says the voltage for the narrow range should be approx 1Vdc with a hot engine idling.

Either that or set it using the two LED method. You'll find that when you get throung the voltage output will still be approx 1vdc.
