What are the Signs of a Faulty Throttle Position Sensor in the Car
Description:
A throttle position sensor is a device that detects the position of the throttle body which is essential for determining how much air will enter the engine. The role of this sensor has made it a key component of the vehicle’s fuel management system. ECU will fail to determine the position of the throttle, when the sensor goes bad. A faulty sensor can be notified by various warning syndromes. Being a motorist, it is your responsibility to be aware of those symptoms so that you can replace the faulty sensor before experiencing a costly hassle due to its failure. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: What are the Signs of a Faulty Throttle Position Sensor in the Car
1
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR IN THE CAR?
2
Needless to say that, the internal combustion
engine needs a sufficient amount of air for the
complete combustion of the fuel.
3
Combustion of one liter of fuel needs about
fourteen liters of oxygen inside the engine of a
car.
4
Modern car engine uses different types of sensors
to work efficiently. The primary job of a
throttle position sensor or TPS is to monitor the
position of the throttle valve.
5
Throttle valve allows the flow of air into the
combustion chamber of the car.
6
Output provided by TPS to the engine control unit
(ECU) helps to regulate the injection of fuel and
air into the combustion chamber of the engine.
7
Malfunctions in such an important sensor might
have adverse impacts on the performance of a car.

SIGNS OF A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
9
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES
10
Any kind of error in any type of sensors in a car
would trigger the check engine light.
11
Finding the root cause behind the illumination of
check engine light is a little bit difficult, but
it is really necessary to detect and fix the
problem in time.
12
The condition of different types of sensors
including TPS should be inspected immediately.
13
THE ENGINE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE
14
The ECU uses the inputs provided by TPS to
regulate the fuel to air ratio inside the
combustion chamber of the engine.
15
However, a faulty TPS could not provide the right
set of information required by the ECU to
regulate the fuel to air ratio.
16
Injection of an insufficient amount of fuel or
air into the combustion chamber might adversely
affect the power output of an engine.
17
Efforts should be made to fix such problems in
time.
18
THE ENGINE COULD MISFIRE
19
Injection of an excess amount of air or fuel into
the combustion chamber might lead to engine
misfiring.
20
Errors in the TPS might lead to engine misfiring.
21
So, early warning signs of a failed TPS should
not be neglected and efforts should be made to
fix such problems.
22
BOTTOM LINE
23
TPS plays an important role in the performance of
an engine.
24
Any kinds of mechanical or electrical errors in
such an important sensor might have disastrous
consequences.
25
So, timely action is required to fix such
problems.
