Slide1: COMMON SIGNS OF DAMAGED THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IN CAR
Slide2: Throttle position sensor(TPS) can keep your car running by controlling the throttle.
Slide3: Main purpose of the sensor is to give information to the car’s computer about throttle.
Slide4: For adjusting the throttle and fuel supply of the car, the sensor can senses the:
Slide5: • Air • Heat • Light
Slide6: But when it is damaged, it will send some incorrect information to the ECM.
Slide7: Go through the points to identify the damaged throttle position sensor in car.
Slide8: When driving the car, the engine can halt without any reason and warning signs. HALT ENGINE
Slide9: Reason behind is, the TPS gives incorrect information to the ECM and halt the engine:
Slide10: • At high speed • At low speed • At idle state
Slide11: Due to the damaged throttle position sensor, idle condition is rising in the car. RISING IDLE
Slide12: At idle condition, the ECM of the car unable to get the correct information.
Slide13: If the ECM doesn’t get the correct information, the acceleration lead to gear transmission problems. ISSUES IN GEAR SWITCHING
Slide14: As a result, you will notice incorrect shift points in car both early or delayed shifts.
Slide15: Damaged TPS will turn on and off the check engine light randomly without any jerks. ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
Slide16: Using a code reader, you can determine the failed TPS and its related components.
Slide17: Most common signs of damaged TPS of the car is jerking or bucking during: JERKING ISSUES
Slide18: • Hard acceleration • Under moderate loan
Slide19: Reason behind the issue is, the ECM doesn’t get correct information from the TPS.
Slide20: Sometimes, damaged throttle position sensor don’t let your car accelerate normally. ACCELERATION PROBLEMS
Slide21: When you car face acceleration issues due to damaged TPS, you will notice signs like:
Slide22: • Slow acceleration • Acceleration surge at high speed • Acceleration surge at low speed • Delay in acceleration
