How does the throttle body temp sensor work?

How does the throttle body temp sensor work?

The throttle body temp sensor is a sensor that is mounted on the throttle body. It monitors the temperature of the throttle body and then sends the information directly to the engine control module. From there, the module figures out the best fuel flow for the engine.

How to do the throttle body relearn procedure?

During this period the idle may be higher than normal. It should slowly drop as the engine heats up. Watch the engine temp gauge and note when it reaches operating temp. Then continue to let it idle for an additional 5 minutes. It will continue to adjust idle during this period.

How does the throttle body work on a Ford?

The pedal simply provides an electronic signal, telling the throttle body how much acceleration you’re requesting. A motor and gear reduction set inside the throttle body opens and closes the throttle plate to accomplish your request.

How is the gas pedal connected to the throttle body?

In those vehicles, the “gas” pedal isn’t connected to the throttle body by a cable. The pedal simply provides an electronic signal, telling the throttle body how much acceleration you’re requesting. A motor and gear reduction set inside the throttle body opens and closes the throttle plate to accomplish your request.

What does the p2135 code on the throttle mean?

The throttle position sensor is located on the throttle body and once it fails, code P2135 may get triggered. What Does the P2135 Code Mean? Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2135 stands for “Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/ Switch A/B Voltage Correlation.”

When to set the TAC code p2135?

A typical TAC system has two TP sensors and two APP sensors for fail-safe reasons. If the data between one of the sensor pairs (e.g, the two throttle position sensors) does not correlate, code P2135 is set. In most cases, the ECM will also force the vehicle into Reduced Power Mode.

What does p2135 mean on the ECM?

If the data between one of the sensor pairs (e.g, the two throttle position sensors) does not correlate, code P2135 is set. In most cases, the ECM will also force the vehicle into Reduced Power Mode. Users have reported p2135 for the following makes: Chevrolet, Nissan, Ford, GMC, and Suzuki.

Where is the TP sensor located on a car?

The throttle position (TP) sensor is located on the throttle body. On the other hand, the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is usually part of the accelerator pedal assembly. Most vehicles have what’s referred to as an electronic throttle actuator (TAC) system.
