Electronic Throttle Actuator: Description and Operation
General Information
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description
The TAC system uses vehicle electronics and components to calculate and control the position of the throttle blade. This eliminates the need for a
mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. This system also performs the cruise control functions as well.
The TAC system components include the following:
^
The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor
^
The throttle body
^
The TAC module
^
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Each of these components interface together to ensure accurate calculations and control of the TP.
