Throttle Body System Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The throttle body system meters air to the engine during idle, part throttle, and wide open throttle (WOT) conditions. The throttle body system consists of single or dual bores with butterfly valve throttle plates and a throttle position (TP) sensor. The airflow is measured by the MAF sensor.
The major components of the throttle body assembly include the TP sensor and the throttle body housing assembly. For additional information on the intake air system components, refer to ENGINE CONTROL COMPONENTS .
