Electronic Throttle Body Throttle Position Sensor (ETBTPS)
On some vehicles, the ETBTPS has one digital signal output from the sensor. There is one reference voltage circuit (ETCREF) and one signal return circuit (ETCRTN) for the sensor dedicated to the ETBTPS. For additional information, refer to Torque Based Electronic Throttle Control (ETC).
For all others, the ETBTPS has two analog signals output from the sensor. The first ETBTPS signal (TP1) has a negative slope (increasing angle, decreasing voltage) and the second signal (TP2) has a positive slope (increasing angle, increasing voltage). There is one reference voltage circuit (ETCREF) and one signal return circuit (ETCRTN) for the sensor shared with the reference voltage circuits (APPVREF1 and APPVREF2) and signal return circuits (APPRTN1 and APPRTN2) used by the APP sensor. For additional information, refer to Torque Based Electronic Throttle Control (ETC).
