As it's 2wd and L1, it is 99.99% without a stop position, sure the L6 hasn't got one either, you can use a 4wd tps though, this has one, but your ecu can't make use of this feature anyway.
If you are trying to cure a flat spot, it could well be due to age/use that you have a dead spot on the carbon track inside the tps.
All is not lost however, this normally occurs just above idle/slow speed on tps, where it spends more of it's time.
An old trick used to be rub a hard lead pencil on the track as this laid down lead it helped renew the worn part, but is only a temp measure.
A better solution would be a new tps, another alternative is take yours apart, carefully, you will see there is a stop screw, this is so that it reads a minimum value, it is a small 3mm allen bolt/screw, adjust this until past the worn part and go from there, not ideal but better than a flat spot.
You may be able to get it better though just by tweaking within the slots adjustment, so try that first.
When I did mine on my L6 I just did it to the settings/voltages listed, drove ok no flat spots.
I have some nice piccies of the internals if you want me to email them to you.
