Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Manual Transmission

Throttle Sensor (M/T)

PURPOSE

Provides the ECU with a throttle fully closed or throttle fully open signal by means of separate contacts within the sensor.

LOCATION

Attached to throttle body.

OPERATION

The sensor is rotated by and in conjunction with the throttle shaft so that sensor and shaft positions correspond when the sensor is properly
adjusted. At intermediate throttle positions (between fully closed and fully opened), neither sensor contact provides the ECU with a signal.
