Throttle Full Close Switch: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

PURPOSE

The throttle position sensor contains both a potentiometer (variable resistor) and an idle switch.  The ECU uses these signals to adjust air/fuel ratio
during acceleration, deceleration and idle.

LOCATION

The throttle sensor is mounted to the throttle body in the engine compartment.

OPERATION

The sensor sends the ECU a potentiometer output signal corresponding to throttle valve opening. The idle switch signal only turns "ON" when the
throttle is near idle position.
