Where is the throttle position sensor located?
1 Answers
The throttle position sensor is installed on the throttle body. As the throttle opening changes and the throttle shaft rotates, it drives the sliding of the brush or the rotation of the guide cam inside the sensor, converting the throttle opening angle signal into an electrical signal sent to the ECU. Below are the adjustment steps for the throttle position sensor: 1. Use the DC voltage range of a multimeter to measure the voltage between the signal wire and the ground wire of the throttle position sensor. 2. With the throttle in the idle position, turn on the ignition switch and observe the reading on the multimeter. 3. If the throttle position sensor does not provide the specified voltage signal, loosen the fixing screw of the throttle position sensor and rotate the sensor housing until the voltmeter indicates the specified voltage signal. 4. Fix the throttle position sensor in the adjusted position.
