The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a variable mechanical resistor connected directly to the throttle shaft linkage. The TP sensor has 3 wires connected to it. One is connected to a 5-volt reference voltage supply from PCM, the second is connected to PCM ground and the third is the signal return which is monitored by PCM. The voltage signal from the TP sensor varies from closed throttle (.5-1.0 volt) to Wide Open Throttle (WOT) (4.5-5.0 volts). This signal is used by PCM for determining control of fuel, idle speed, spark timing and converter clutch. Failure in TP sensor circuit should set a related DTC.
