Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Hyundai Accent and 2004 Hyundai Accent. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The TP Sensor is a rotating type variable resistor that rotates with the throttle body's throttle shaft to sense the throttle valve angle. As the throttle shaft rotates, the throttle angle of the TP Sensor changes and the ECM detects the throttle valve opening based on the TPS output voltage.
