Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer that provides a signal to the PCM that is directly

proportional to the throttle plate position. The TP sensor is mounted on the side of the throttle body and is

connected to the throttle plate shaft. The TP sensor monitors throttle plate movement and position, and

transmits an appropriate electrical signal to the PCM. These signals are used by the PCM to adjust the air/fuel

mixture, spark timing and EGR operation according to engine load at idle, part throttle, or full throttle. The

TPS is not adjustable.
