Hella Throttle Position Sensor

The Hella throttle position sensor (TPS) monitors the angle of the throttle plate and sends that data to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses the signal to manage fuel delivery, ignition timing, idle control, and automatic transmission shift points. A properly working throttle position sensor, also called a throttle sensor or TPS switch, helps keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently.

Key Features:

• Gives the engine management system accurate throttle position feedback
• Made to meet or exceed OE requirements for fit, form and function
• Helps maintain smooth acceleration, stable idle and efficient fuel use
• Built to hold up to engine bay heat, vibration and moisture
• Backed by Hella, a long-time OE supplier of automotive electrical and electronic components

Signs of a Failing Throttle Position Sensor:

• Hesitation or surging during acceleration
• Rough or unstable idle
• Poor fuel economy
• Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
• Check engine light with throttle position fault codes

Replacing a worn or faulty throttle position sensor with a Hella unit helps restore driveability and engine performance. Select the specific part number that matches your application.
