throttle sensor always reads max??

on my AVCR the throttle position sensor is reading 100%. I checked the voltages via the "check sensors" menu and it is well over 4V. I checked the power FC and the voltage reading is the same so im guessing its nothing to do with the apexi units. Does anyone know what else i can check to sort out the issue. Im still running in the car after a rebuild but want it sorted before i get it mapped so the tuner wont have any problems

hope someone can help me

check the tps manually
use a volt meter and move the sensor from fully closed to fully open you should see voltage change gradually from .01v or roughly to a max of 5v if you do not then assume that the sensor is bad and needs to be replaced if its not that be sure to check the wiring for a short. either short to power or short to ground.
hope this helps.
