THROTTLE SENSOR:
The throttle sensor, a highly reliable potentiometer, is a 4-pin resistive sensor. The sensor sends a
voltage signal, proportional to the opening angle of the throttle valve, to the control unit. The sensor
is positioned in the throttle assembly, as shown in the figure.
The figure shows the sensor connections and the sensor resistance curve/angle.
