Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Lincoln MKX, 2014 Lincoln MKT, and 2014 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The TP sensor provides a signal to the PCM that is linearly proportional to the throttle plate position. The TP sensor is mounted on the throttle body. As the TP sensor is rotated by the throttle shaft, the following operating conditions are determined by the PCM:
- closed throttle (includes idle or deceleration)
- part throttle (includes cruise or moderate acceleration)
- wide open throttle (includes maximum acceleration or dechoke on crank)
- throttle angle rate
