Where is the throttle positions sensor located

Throttle position sensors are mounted to the side of the throttle plate and measure the position of the throttle - essentially, how far down the gas pedal is pressed

Throttle position sensor
A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the throttle position of a car. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle/shaft so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle. More advanced forms of the sensor are also used, for example an extra closed throttle position sensor (CTPS) may be employed to indicate that the throttle is completely closed.

It is located in the throttle body assembly . Your vehicle has electronic throttle control .
Throttle Body Assembly
The throttle body assembly contains the following components:
?€¢
The throttle blade

?€¢
The throttle actuator motor

?€¢
The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and 2

The throttle body functions are similar to a conventional throttle body with the following exceptions:
?€¢
An electric motor opens and closes the throttle valve.

?€¢
The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions and the default position is slightly open.

?€¢
There are 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body assembly.

Oh yea it has two TPS - throttle position sensors ! An you have to replace the whole assembly !

The Idle air control or throttle positioning sensor is located right on the throttle. Follow the throttle pedal cable to the bracket which the sensor is located

How to Replace a Throttle Position Sensor
(DIY & Save up to $135.75 ) - Time: 2.1 hours

Parts:
1. Throttle Position Sensor - $ 55.44

Tools:
1. Scan Tool
2. Screwdriver
3. Multimeter

Procedure:
1. Locate the OBD data link connector (DLC). Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific location.

• Tip: The OBD-I data link connector is usually located in the engine compartment near the battery or the fuse box. The OBD-II connector (post 1995 cars) is usually located beneath the instument panel next to the steering column.

2. Turn your key to the“ON” position. Do not start the engine.

3. Plug your scan tool into the OBD data link connector. Turn on the scan tool and select the appropriate steps to read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Scanner plugged into OBD-II data link connector.

• Tip: The OBD-II diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a 5 character alphanumeric code. The first digit is a letter that indicates the component group, the second digit is OBD mandated or manufacturer specfic, the third digit is a subgroup, and the fourth and fifth digits define the component and basic problem.
  

• 4. Locate the throttle position sensor.

• 
  
• Throttle position sensor
  

• 5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the throttle position sensor.

• 
  
• Electrical connector removed
  

6. Test the resistance of the throttle position sensor (TPS) with a digital multi-meter. If the resistance is out of specifications, the TPS must be replaced.

• 7. Remove the throttle position sensor.



Removing sensor mounting screws

8. Install the new throttle position sensor. Tighten the mounting screws and attach the electrical connector.

• 9. Erase the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) with the scan tool using the“delete” or“erase” command. Road test your vehicle to see if the check engine light returns.

• Tip: If the check engine light returns, repeat the diagnostic process for additional DTCs or take your vehicle to a certified repair shop.

Direct OE replacement

Hope helped with this. Good luck (remember rated this help).

The throttle positioning sensor is actually mounted to the throttle body on the opposite side of the throttle cable. there are diagrams that show most sensor locations but not 100% of all sensors

Bolted to the side of the throttle body.

CLICK HERE to see a generic picture with the sensor mounted on the right side.

Theres a black plastic "box" above the throttle assembly...
Remove that to get to the throttle position sensor underneath.
If you can locate the two wires that control the throttle assembly...then the throttle position sensor is on the other side of the throttle assembly. Remove the large tube that goes from the air filter to the black plastic "box" above the throttle assembly.
Also disconnected anything else connected to that black plastic "box". Then pull "box" up and right there on the left side of the throttle assembly is the throttle assembly sensor.

the throttle position sensor is located on the side of the throttle body even with the throttle plate.

map sensor located on firewall right side of vehicle..3 wire connector..small black sensor..with a vacuum hose leading to it..throttle position sensor on right side of throttle body unit..3 wire sensor..iac located on front of throttle body..4 wire sensor
