Tps sensor is a sensor consist of a variable resistor which tps sensor is mounted externally on the throttle body. when throttle open wider when accelerating the tps sensor richen fuel mixture to maintain proper air fuel ratio.and tps sensor controls transmission shifting.

SOURCE: where can i find the Throttle Position Sensor on

Follow the black hose from the air cleaner to the intake manifold. On one side of the transition, you will see where the accelerator cable attaches to a mechanism to open the throttle plate. On the opposite end of the shaft connected to the throttle plate is the throttle position sensor. There are a couple of wires coming out of it.

its just a sensor. you do not have to replace the entire throttle body.

SOURCE: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch B Circuit Range Performance

there is no adjustment on these tps's it's a drive by wire system. If you don't know the vehicle, dont post!
there's 2 sensors contained in the pedal sensor, and one on the throttle plate shaft, more often than not, it's the pedal sensor, and if you replaced that, it's the other one or a loose connection. did you reset the computer after replacing the pedal?

SOURCE: location of the throttle position sensor on a 1999

Look where the throttle cable hooks up to the throttle on the throttle body,it is no the opposite side,it moves with the throttle,if this was helpful,please rate,thank you.

What does code p0122nd on a 1996 Saturn sc1 mean

A P0122 code means that the the vehicle's computer has detected that the TPS (throttle position sensor) "A" is reporting too low a voltage. On some vehicles that lower limit is 0.17 - 0.20 volts (V). In simple terms, the throttle position sensor is used to determine what position the throttle is at.

L300 Saturn 2003 trying to replace my throtter sensor. Can't figure out where to start from. Have no idea where's it located.

Your vehicle has electronic throttle control an the Throttle position sensor's are internal to the throttle body assembly ! Your vehicle has two throttle position sensors .
Throttle Body Assembly
The throttle assembly contains the following components:
?€¢ The throttle blade ?€¢ The throttle actuator motor ?€¢ The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2 You have to replace the Throttle Body Assembly !
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the inlet hose assembly from the throttle body. Disconnect the throttle body electrical connection. Disconnect the hose clamps from the plenum-to-runner connector using theJ 43914 .
Remove the intake plenum bolts. Remove the EGR passage bolt. Rotate the plenum up and remove the throttle body coolant hoses, EVAP hose, and vacuum line from the throttle body.
Remove the throttle body nuts. Remove the throttle body.

Why won't a Saturn idle under 4000rpm?

I would try a new throttle position sensor. Yours must be giving a wrong reading.

Saturn lw2 stuck in limp mode

Hi there:DTC P1779 - Engine Torque Delivered to TCM Signal
Engine torque signal below lower limit delivered to TCM. I've read these occur when there is a communication problem between ECM and TCM (Transmission Control Module).
DTC P1791 - Transmission Control Module LoopThe P1779 and P1791 codes set as a result of the other DTC (P0128). When the ECM sets certain trouble codes, these codes will set in the TCM (Transmission Control Module). The TCM will also increase tranmission pressures, which results in the harsh shifting.


DTC P0123 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit HighTP sensor signal circuit is shorted to sensor ground. TP sensor signal circuit is open (except 1996-1998 models). TP sensor VREF circuit is open between sensor and PCM. TP sensor is damaged or it failed (it may be shorted).


DTC P0222 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit LowThe Throttle control module contains two throttle position (TP) sensors with a common 5 volt supply, a common ground, and two independent signal circuits that vary resistance according to changes in throttle plate position. The ECM measures the signal voltage from each TP sensor, which is a reduced value of the ECM 5 volt reference. As the throttle plate opens from 0% throttle to wide open throttle, the voltage on the TP sensor 1 signal increases from 0.6 (+/-0.2) volts to 4.3 (+/-0.2) volts, while the voltage on the TP sensor 2 signal decreases from 4.4 (+/-0.2) volts to 0.76 (+/-0.2) volts.

If both P0122 and P0222 are set, circuit 486 may be either open or shorted to ground.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

I have a 2000 Saturn sl2 and it won't start...it is getting fuel and spark and the only code it is throwing is for the throttle position sensor...the last time it ran it started and ran for a second and...

Absolutely if the TPS throttle position is out how can your EFI computer communicate with it if it is malfunctioning!!! Replace the throttle position switch and drive on

How to find a throttle position sensor on Saturn Ion

Welcome to Fixya

Just follow the black hose from the air cleaner to the intake manifold. On one side, you will see where the accelerator cable attaches to a mechanism to open the throttle plate. On the opposite end of the shaft connected to the throttle plate is the throttle position sensor. There are a couple of wires coming out of it.

Where is the throttle position sensor is located on a saturn l200

it is located precisely at the throttle shaft. Follow the intake or throttle cable, and the sensor is the electrical component at one end of the shaft.

The electricsal gas pedal

The pedal itself is the sensor. It is all one assembly called the accelerator pedal position sensor. If you are getting a code for this or the throttle position sensor don't assume either are at fault. There are many problems with wiring and the throttle body assembly which contains the throttle position sensor so a thorough diagnosis is needed before any parts should be put on.
