How do I change a throttle sensor in a 2006 santa fe

It is located on the throttle body past the air filter. 2 small bolts hold it in place and it has 1 electrical connector. Your ECM (the engine's computer) may need to be reprogrammed after you change this. The dealer can do the ECM programming. There was a Technical Service Bulletin put out by Hyundai.

The part is about $40 and looks like this:
And goes here (this is an Accent but Santa Fe should be similar):

TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) Diagnosis and Unde…: http://youtu.be/FJobCD6y8fk maybe this will help you http://www.hyundai-forums.com/sm-2001-2006-santa-fe/372690-p1192-code-help.html#/forumsite/20503/topics/372690 from what i understand iif itis your tps malfunctioning it will need to be rwplaced

ACEELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR IS USUALLY BUILT INTO ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY .........LOOK FOR WIRES COMING OUT OF ACCELERSTOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY ON THE INSIDE OF CAR NEAR OR UNDER ACC PEDAL ASSEMBLY

see no check engine light. need to have throttle control module check or tps sensor but need diagnostic equipment to check it.dealership has to check it out.

most of the time yes it will be on the direct side and attached to the throttle blade it will have usually two screws on either side and will slide in a stem.

The 04 Santa Fe came with three different engines. 4 cylinder (2.4 lit), and two different V6's (2.7 lit & 3.5 lit). The 2.4 & 2.7 use throttle cables connected directly to the throttle plate, but the 3.5 uses ETS (Electronic Throttle System) which uses two sensors (APS & TPS) and a control module (ETSCM). APS=Accelerator Position Sensor, TPS=Throttle Position Sensor, ETSCM= Electronic Throttle System Control Module. There are different diagnostic procedures for each system.
Go to www.hmaservice.com and register your vehicle by VIN #.. you'll then have access to wiring diagrams, shop manuals, service bulletins, campaigns, illustrations and procedures, etc.

I use and I'd recommend you register for free at www.autozone.com Once registered you'll have access to repair and shop manuals for virtually any car or truck. All the data and diagrams you need now or may need in the future will be a couple of mouse clicks away.

Hello, There is not a recall for this issue,but there is a TSB (technical safety bulletin) by Hyundai for this issue that you are having with your vehicle for the code that was set. What this consists of is replacement of the throttle position sensor and performing an ECU software upgrade for the vehicles computer. The process usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour to perform at a Hyundai service department. If you are the original owner of the vehicle or it has less than 60,000 miles, this repair procedure is no cost to the owner. Hope this info helps. Gabe

ECM UPDATE

NOTE:

This bulletin revises TSB 09-FL-003-2 to add the Genesis Sedan (BH)

model to the applicability list. It also provides instructions to select the

Some 2.7L, 3.3L or 3.8L engines in models identified in the applicability list may

experience one or more of the following conditions:

• DTC P2135: Throttle position sensors 1/2 voltage correlation

• DTC P0638: Throttle actuator control range/performance

• RPM fluctuation while engine is cold (DTC not set)

NOTE:

Should either of the above DTC occur, the vehicle would have operated in

limited power "limp home" mode and stored the following DTC in the ECM:

• DTC P1295: ETC System Malfunction - Power Management
