Throttle Position (TP) Sensor

The Throttle Position (TP) sensor supplies a throttle position voltage signal input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM converts the TP sensor signal into a throttle duty signal. The duty signal is relative to the rate at which the throttle plate is opening. The cruise control actuator assembly uses the information in order to determine the throttle opening angle.
