THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR [SKYACTIV-G 1.5, SKYACTIV-G 2.0]

id0140g8006900


Purpose

•  The TP sensor detects the actual throttle valve opening angle.

Function

•  The TP sensor sends the throttle valve opening angle to the PCM as a throttle valve position signal.
•  For the throttle valve position signal, main (No.1) and sub (No.2) signals of different characteristics have been adopted to enhance sensor malfunction detection accuracy.

Construction

•  The TP sensor is built into the throttle body and coaxially arranged with the throttle valve shaft.
•  Non-contact hall elements have been adopted for the detection area of the TP sensor.
•  The Hall elements detect the magnetic field which changes as the shaft rotates and outputs it as a voltage value.

Operation

1.  The TP sensor detects (1) the throttle valve opening angle.

2.  The TP sensor sends (2) the detected throttle valve opening angle to the PCM as a throttle valve position main (No.1) and sub (No.2) signals.
