2.6 Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor is a critical input to the TCM. Failure to properly install the throttle position sensor will result in
improper transmission operation and damage. PCS can provide a throttle position kit as shown in Figure 2.6-1.
Figure 2.6-1 PCS TPS Overview
Position 1:
LOW FAILURE POSITION. The sensor arm should return to this position when it is disconnected from the pedal or throttle
linkage. When the sensor is connected to the TCM the signal should measure less than 0.2V.
Position 2:
IDLE POSITION. The sensor arm should be
off of the minimum stop such that the reported voltage is
between 0.5V and 1.5V.
Position 3:
FULL THROTTLE POSITION. The sensor arm
should not contact the maximum stop. The reported voltage
in this position should be 3.5V to 4.5V.
Position 4:
HIGH FAILURE POSITION. The maximum stop
position is designed to protect the sensor if a failure in the
linkage allows the sensor arm to extend past the normal
operating range.
