Locations:

On a gasoline engine this TP sensor is a component part of the Throttle valve control module -J338-. It can be found on the throttle valve housing (engine).

On a Diesel engine the "Throttle valve signal" is generated in the Throttle Position (TP) sensor -G79-. This sensor can be found near the accelerator pedal.

On vehicles with data bus, the signal comes from the bus. On these vehicles, the data bus interface is checked in addition.
