K 1500 Suburban 4WD V8-5.3L VIN T (2002)
Throttle Body: Description and Operation
Throttle Body Assembly
The throttle body for the TAC system is similar to a conventional throttle body with a couple of exceptions. One exception being the use of a motor to
control the TP instead of a mechanical cable. The other exception is the new design TP sensor. The TP sensor mounts on the side of the throttle body
opposite the throttle actuator motor. The TP sensor is actually 2 individual TP sensors within one housing. Separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt
reference circuits are used to connect the TP sensors and the TAC module. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage increases as the throttle opens, from around
1.0 volt at 0 throttle to above 3.5 volts at 100 percent throttle. TP sensor 2 signal voltage decreases as the throttle is opened, from around 3.8 volts at 0
throttle to below 1.0 volt at 100 percent throttle.
