CODE 14 - COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (SIGNAL VOLTAGE LOW) 1. Code 14 indicates control module has seen low coolant sensor voltage signal (high temperature) at control module terminal for a precalibrated period of time. This checks if conditions for Code 14 still exist. 2. This tests for grounded sensor signal line between control module and coolant sensor. Diagnostic Aids After engine is started, temperature should rise steadily to about 190 °F (88 °C) and then stabilize when thermostat opens. At normal operating temperature, signal voltage at control module terminal should be 1.5- 2.0 volts. Check sensor for shifted calibration by using sensor TEMPERATURE-TO-RESISTANCE VALUES table. When Code 14 is set, control module will turn on electric cooling fan(s) if equipped.

CODE 22 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (SIGNAL VOLTAGE LOW) 1. This test checks if code is result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition. 2. This test simulates conditions for a Code 21. If control module recognizes change of state, control module and wiring are okay. 3. This simulates a high signal voltage to check for an open in TPS signal line to control module. Scan tester should recognize this signal and display high TPS voltage. Diagnostic Aids A scan tester displays throttle position in volts. Closed throttle voltage should be low. Voltage should increase gradually to about 4.5 volts at a steady rate as throttle angle is increased. If code is intermittent, see INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article in this section.

Try resetting the IAC: IDLE SPEED 1. Idle speed is ECM-controlled. Resetting of IAC valve pintle is the only possible adjustment. To reset IAC valve pintle position, turn ignition on (engine off). 2. Using a jumper, ground ALDL diagnostic test connector for 5 seconds. Remove jumper from ALDL diagnostic test connector. Turn ignition off for 10 seconds. Start engine, and check for proper idle operation. Refer to underhood emissions label for idle specifications. Clear any trouble codes. NOTE: Idle mixture is controlled by Electronic Control Module (ECM). Adjustment is not possible. NOTE: Incorrect idle speeds are normally caused by dirty throttle plate or vacuum leaks. Ensure all vacuum components are functioning properly. Page 1 of 1 ADJUSTMENTS - V6 -1993 Chevrolet Lumina 8/9/2008
Your TPS is not adjustable, so the only thing you can check is for voltage as you operate it by hand, low reading at idle to 4.5 volts at wide open.
