Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
DESCRIPTION
The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer (a device for measuring an unknown voltage or potential difference by comparison to a
standard voltage). The TP sensor sends a voltage to the control module, varying from (approximately 0.5 volts) to (approximately 5 volts). This
voltage signal to the control module represents throttle shaft angle. At closed throttle, the signal voltage to the control module is approximately 0.5
volts. As the throttle shaft angle increases the signal voltage increases to greater than 4.5 volts at wide open throttle. The TP sensor is attached to
the injector pump assembly.
