THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS

Purpose and Function.
Modern engine management systems require detailed information about
throttle position and rate of change. As many vehicle systems are influenced
by throttle activity including fuelling requirements, transmission control
strategy and accessories such as air conditioning accurate data is essen-
tial, a simple switch cannot provide this detail.
The sensors described below are full range sensors capable of operat-
ing in clockwise or anti-clockwise directions and are compact for fitment in
restricted spaces.
