The voltage to the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) from the Engine Control Module (ECM) typically ranges between 5 to 12 volts, depending on the vehicle's design. The TPS uses this voltage to measure the position of the throttle plate and send a corresponding signal back to the ECM. This feedback allows the ECM to adjust fuel delivery and ignition timing for optimal engine performance. It's important to refer to the specific vehicle's service manual for exact specifications.

What does a tps wiring harness do?

It connects the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) to the ECM (Engine Control Module) so the ECM can receive information transmitted by the TPS.


What is a Tps throttle switch?

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.

WHAT IS Throttle position sensor ON Volvo?

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.

How do you test a TPS on a 1991 S10?

To test the throttle position sensor (TPS) on a 1991 Chevy S10, you'll need a multimeter. First, locate the TPS on the throttle body and disconnect the electrical connector. With the multimeter set to measure voltage, probe the middle terminal of the TPS while slowly moving the throttle from closed to wide open; you should see a smooth increase in voltage. If the voltage is erratic or doesn't change appropriately, the TPS may be faulty and should be replaced.
