Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
The Throttle Position Sensor identifies the position of the throttle plate to the engine computer.
The signal voltage will be approximately 0.2-1.0 volt at idle and up to 4.6 volts at wide open throttle.
Location: The TPS is located within or on the side of the throttle body or carburetor.
Failure Symptoms: Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illumination, failed emission test, engine hesitation on light acceleration, engine hesitation during a cruise, automatic transmission shifting condition.
What does a throttle position sensor do?
the throttle position sensor moves with the throttle and sends a voltage signal to the computer indicating throttle angle and speed of movement data.
the computer uses this data to measure engine load,adjust timing,fuel delivery, EGR,converter clutch operation and clear flood mode.
