Throttle Position Sensor

Throttle Position Sensors (TPS) are vital components within a vehicle's engine management system, monitoring the throttle plate's angle and relaying this information to the engine control unit (ECU). Located on the throttle body, these sensors provide crucial data for fuel delivery, ignition timing, and idle speed control, ultimately optimizing engine performance and fuel efficiency. A malfunctioning TPS can lead to poor engine operation, hesitation, stalling, or even a check engine light. These sensors utilize potentiometers or other technologies to accurately measure throttle opening. Examples in our assortment include Bosch MPN 0205001206 for various applications, and sensors specific to commercial vehicles like MAN MPN 81274216052 or Scania MPN 1774004.
