Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer mounted on the throttle body. The TP sensor detects the position of the throttle plate and sends this information to the PCM. The TP sensor is used for shift scheduling, electronic pressure control (EPC) and TCC control.
