How do throttle position sensors (TPS) work?
As the throttle moves, a mechanical arm inside the TPS makes contact with points on a resistor strip.
What happens when contact is made?
Voltage is sent through the signal line to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
What causes a TPS to stop working?
A misadjusted TPS may result in poor idle, stalling,lack of power, and improper transmission shifting
Your Throttle Position Sensor Is Wearing Out
Throttle position sensors with a high failure rate that have been re-engineered for increased quality and longevity.
Most OE manufactures use a resistance type potentiometer circuit design in their throttle position sensors. This type of sensor circuit requires a circuit board with mechanical contacts to return a variable voltage signal. While this type of sensor operates effectively, the issue with this design is friction. Friction causes heat between the contacts as well as wear within the moving parts causing premature sensor failure. Our re-engineered sensors are a non-contact Hall effect design that eliminates the mechanical contact points. These sensors use an integrated non-contact circuit for more accurate and consistent electrical output which achieves a much greater performance and service life.
While physical dimensions and appearance remain similar in part applications and the replacement procedure does not differ between sensor types, circuit testing may require a different diagnostic method. Sensor testing with an ohm meter has not been the most effective way to test this sensor, monitoring voltage on the return circuit has always been the most effective test method and is the required test method on this improved circuit type.
Be sure to read and follow the replacement procedure from a repair resource as some vehicle applications may require a system calibration whenever the throttle position sensor is replaced.

It honestly thought it worked but I believe it has not because I’m still getting the same check engine codes which is shift solenoids A through D malfunction and also the motor when I start it up runs great a little miss but overall okay or so I thought. When you put it in drive it falls on its face and won’t go and if you leave it in gear it dies which is what it was doing before I changed out the sensor. When I changed it I cleared the codes and it ran and drove amazing then all of a sudden I went to move it so I could clean the o2 sensors and it was back to running like crap

el producto calzó perfectamente con mi ford escape 2006 3.0 pero no solucionó el problema, en si he notado que los repuestos para autos acá si bien tienen la forma y empatan fácilmente su durabilidad o eficacia es cuestionable
