Throttle Position Sensor: Specifications

Throttle Angle
Measurement range 0 - 100 %.

The control module derives the value from the throttle position (TP) sensor in the electronic throttle module. The signal goes on to the Control area network (CAN) from the throttle unit to the engine control module (ECM).

The value indicates the throttle opening.

Approximately 0 % = throttle closed.

Approximately 100 % = wide open throttle (WOT).

Leakage flow over throttle
Measurement range 0 -655 kg/h.

The value indicates how much air passes through the throttle at closed throttle position (CTP). The control module calculates the value from the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle position (TP) sensor signal.

The normal value is approximately 5 ± 4 kg/h

NOTE: Other values apply if there is air leakage on the intake system.
