How is the throttle position sensor used in a PCM?
The PCM uses this information to determine control of various output devices, such as the fuel injectors, transmission shift solenoids, etc. Basically, the throttle position sensor is a variable resistor. Its internal resistance and output signal voltage change in relation to throttle position.
Where is the throttle position sensor on a Honda Accord?
Step 1: Locate the sensor. The throttle position sensor is mounted to the throttle body on top of the engine. Step 2: Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect the negative battery cable and set it aside. Step 3: Remove the sensor electrical connector.
What is the voltage of the throttle sensor?
The sensor is attached to the throttle plate shaft and changes output voltage as the throttle plate opens and closes. The output voltage will be low or around 0.45 volts if the throttle is closed and will be high or 4.5 volts at (WOT) Wide Open Throttle.

How does throttle position sensor work on 1997 Nissan Maxima?
Today we’re replacing, and adjusting, a throttle position sensor. The sensor detects the opening and closing of the throttle valve and feeds that info to the vehicle’s computer. This was performed on a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Check with your vehicle’s repair manual for testing parameters.
How to replace a Mercury Sable vehicle speed?
Put the sensor in place by lining up where the bolt will be wrenched into place. Make sure to get the sensor is snug into place (as explained in the video). Then reconnect the sensor clip to the vss itself and slide the heat shield down over the sensor to cover it.
How to test and replace the throttle position sensor?
I always use basic hand tools. I explain things in simplistic terms. From performing a simple oil change, turning off the pesky ‘Check Engine’ light; to tearing down an engine, it’s all here. I also learn from viewers regarding certain tips and pass it along.
