Throttle Position (TP) sensor provides a voltage signal that changes relative to throttle opening. Signal voltage varies from about .5 volt at idle to about 4.5 volts at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). TP sensor signal is one of the most important inputs used by VCM for fuel control and most VCM control outputs.
