Throttle Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor

DESCRIPTION

The Throttle Position (TP) Sensor is a variable resistor located in the throttle body. 

OPERATION

The TP sensor detects the opening of the throttle and relays this signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM uses this information
to control shifting and lockup.
