unplug it,(with the ignition off) then turn to the on position, pcm should recognize the fault and a DTC will be set(not sure if the light will come on), then turn ignition off re connect the TPS, and start the car, after wards the car should recognize that the fault is no longer there and the DTC should clear(but dont quote me, its been awhile since i did mine)

That's the correct way to do it.

When you restart the car after following Shallow Bay's instructions, do not give it any gas. The TPS needs to read normal idle position first.
