There is no "reset" procedure ... are you asking how to adjust the sensor by monitoring it's voltages based on the position of the throttle valve?

As discussed over the years the most accurate way to readjust the TPS is using a feeler gauge on the CTPS (Closed TPS) switch.

This bulletin defines that procedure

Usually the place that just serviced your tires (rotation, etc) takes care of that for you, with a tpms reader.

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor

TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Also, this procedure doesn't appear to be applicable to the '99 model year.

Nope ... just checked the '99 FSM. The feeler gauge procedure is in there as relates to adjustment.
