Circuit/System Description (wo/TAC)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Swift +, 2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The throttle body assembly contains a throttle position (TP) sensor. The TP sensor is mounted externally on the throttle body assembly. The TP sensor is a potentiometer which provides a signal voltage that changes relative to the throttle blade angle. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the TP sensor with a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The TP sensor signal voltage decreases from less than 1 volt at idle to greater than 4 volts at wide open throttle (WOT).
