THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)

TPS OPERATION OVERVIEW

The pedal position sensor
accelerator pedal lever. The TPS provides throttle pedal
position to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to increase
or decrease engine RPM using the Electronic Throttle
Control (ETC). The TPS is the primary input used to
control engine speed during vehicle operation.

Position should display as follows:
• Key on for less than 10 seconds and pedal released, ≈
2.8%
• Key on for more than 10 seconds and pedal released ≈
10.8%
• Pedal fully depressed ≈ 99.6%
The TPS is calibrated to the throttle pedal. If the TPS is
faulty, the throttle pedal assembly must be replaced.
