SMT APS sensor repair

[Anonymous]

My Toyota MR-S no longer responding to the gas pedal, the cause of failure was in the APS sensor  new APS in Russia worth $ 580  s:scared: :scared: s:scared:    to order 18 days from Japan! Because it is expensive and a long wait, I decided to fix a broken sensor.
1.remove the throttle assembly and unscrew 4 screws APS sensor and remove it

2.gently warmed latch hairdryer and turn down the sides

3.grind down the rivet and remove the plunger

4.remove the lid and sealing ring

5.within the board is 4-pin, heat the soldering iron and remove the switching circuit

6.inside there are contacts that are not pressed to the board and hang out, because of this there is no contact and the gas pedal does not work

7.small screwdriver gently bending up contacts

8.glue drips on the plate with contacts

9.switching circuit wipe with alcohol or solvent and put back

10.soldering iron to solder 4 pins

11.put the O-ring and cover

12.heat the holders and bend, put plunger and gently bump the awl

bolted to the throttle and drive on!))))  s:P s:P
