Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 36 other vehicles, including the 2000 Saturn SW2, 2000 Saturn SL2, 2000 Saturn SL1, 2000 Saturn SL, and 2000 Saturn SC2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
TP sensor is not adjustable unless specified otherwise. For further testing procedures, refer to appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS or SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.
NOTE:
On some models, throttle control is electronic with NO mechanical link from engine to accelerator pedal. The PCM and Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module monitors the position of accelerator pedal based on signals from a nonadjustable Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor. The APP sensor is mounted above accelerator pedal.
