What are the symptoms of a faulty throttle pedal sensor?
1 Answers
Throttle pedal sensor failure manifests as the inability to generate throttle opening signals to the ECU, causing the engine control unit to only inject fuel based on idle air intake. Below is additional information: Throttle Pedal: Also known as the accelerator pedal, it is part of the vehicle's fuel supply system. By adjusting its depression level, it controls the throttle valve opening, regulates air intake, and allows the ECU to manage fuel injection, thereby controlling engine speed. The throttle pedal position sensor detects how much the pedal is depressed, and the ECU uses this signal to rotate the throttle motor to a specific angle, ensuring proper air intake under various operating conditions. Throttle Pedal Operation Method: The vehicle engine's throttle is typically controlled by a pedal, also called the accelerator pedal, which regulates fuel supply. When operating the throttle pedal, place the right heel on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, gently press the accelerator pedal with the ball of the foot, and use ankle joint flexion to depress or release. Apply force softly when operating the pedal, ensuring smooth and gradual movements.
