Different sensors of the car have their own set of functions. Like them, the throttle position sensor also have their own functionality and usefulness. Thus, the throttle position sensor can controls the amount of fuel flow into the engine and monitors the throttle position from the shaft. Morover, the throttle position sensor of the car is damaged due to many factors. Go through the following slide to identify it more efficiently and easily.

1. COMMON SIGNS OF DAMAGED
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IN CAR

2. Throttle position sensor(TPS)
can keep your car running by
controlling the throttle.

3. Main purpose of the sensor is to
give information to the car’s
computer about throttle.

4. For adjusting the throttle and
fuel supply of the car, the sensor
can senses the:

5. • Air
• Heat
• Light

6. But when it is damaged, it will
send some incorrect information
to the ECM.

7. Go through the points to
identify the damaged throttle
position sensor in car.

8. When driving the car, the engine
can halt without any reason and
warning signs.
HALT ENGINE

9. Reason behind is, the TPS gives
incorrect information to the
ECM and halt the engine:

10. • At high speed
• At low speed
• At idle state

11. Due to the damaged throttle
position sensor, idle condition is
rising in the car.
RISING IDLE

12. At idle condition, the ECM of the
car unable to get the correct
information.

13. If the ECM doesn’t get the
correct information, the
acceleration lead to gear
transmission problems.
ISSUES IN
GEAR
SWITCHING

14. As a result, you will notice
incorrect shift points in car both
early or delayed shifts.

15. Damaged TPS will turn on and
off the check engine light
randomly without any jerks.

16. Using a code reader, you can
determine the failed TPS and its
related components.

17. Most common signs of damaged
TPS of the car is jerking or
bucking during:
JERKING
ISSUES

18. • Hard acceleration
• Under moderate load

19. Reason behind the issue is, the
ECM doesn’t get correct
information from the TPS.

20. Sometimes, damaged throttle
position sensor don’t let your
car accelerate normally.
ACCELERATION
PROBLEMS

21. When your car face acceleration
issues due to damaged TPS, you
will notice signs like:

22. • Slow acceleration
• Acceleration surge at
high speed
• Acceleration surge at
low speed
• Delay in acceleration
