Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Throttle Position (TP) sensor uses 2 sensors which detect throttle opening and a malfunction of the TP sensor. TP sensor is located on throttle body and provides an input voltage of 0-5 volts to VTA and VTA2 terminals at Engine Control Module (ECM) in proportion to throttle opening. ECM uses input signals and controls the throttle control motor to provide proper throttle valve opening in response to driving conditions.
