Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Sensor--mounted on the carburetor body and actuated by the accelerator pump lever or a cam on the throttle shaft--sends a varying DC voltage
signal to the ECM representing throttle position.

-

As plates are opened sensor voltage rises to a maximum of 5 volts.
