Throttle Position (TP) Sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Plymouth Voyager, 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 1995 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1995 Dodge Dakota, and 1995 Dodge Caravan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- TP sensor is located on throttle body. Disconnect and inspect TP sensor connector. Repair as necessary. With ignition switch in the ON position, measure output voltage at center terminal (output) wire of connector.
- TP sensor output should read more than 500 millivolts (0.5 volt) at idle. At Wide Open Throttle (WOT), TP sensor output must read less than 3.7 volts.
- At Wide Open Throttle (WOT), TP sensor output must read less than 4.8 volts.
- Output voltage should increase gradually as throttle is increased from idle to WOT. If voltage readings are not within specification, replace TP sensor.
