It connects the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) to the ECM (Engine Control Module) so the ECM can receive information transmitted by the TPS.
TPS (throttle position Sensor) is a variable potentiometer! Is is connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body. The ECM/PCM (computer) uses the voltage from the TPS to determine fuel delivery based on the angle of the throttle shaft or valve (driver demand) A loose or broken TPS can cause an unstable idle or intermittent bursts of fuel from the fuel injectors, because the ECM/PCM is fooled into thinking the throttle is moving.
Code 21 (2 flashes, pause, 1 flash)Throttle position sensor/voltage highCheck for a sticking or misadjusted TPS plunger. Check all wiring and connections between the TPS and the ECM. Adjust or replace the TPS

A Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) reports to the ECM how open the throttle is. The signal is sent as voltage to the ECM, and the amount of voltage reports how open the throttle is. The throttle is what allows gasoline to get to the engine, and in a car that is the gas pedal. We would think fo the value as 0% to 100% and any range between.
Bad ECM or ECM relay.
it does but the ecm controls the amount of voltage.
ecm
bad ground or ecm
The Voltage Regulator is internal /part of the ECM (computer)..The Computer regulates the alternator voltage.
tps will be located other side ofthrotle to accel cable check for clean connection at tps plug replace tps unless you can test unit dave.cop
high voltage at the tps.
