YOGYAKARTA Did you know that the car engine consists of various components, one of which is very important is the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) To get to know the TPS sensor more about the following article.

TPS sensors are one of the components of the car. This sensor is connected to the gas valve or thrust gas. The function of the TPS sensor is to regulate and balance fuel and emissions in the car engine.

The TPS sensor in the car itself is integrated with a thrust body. While the shuttle body itself is a car engine component that functions to channel air to the combustion room to help burn fuel in the engine. The TPS sensor is also connected to a shuttle valve aka a gas valve.

The most important TPS sensor function is to detect changes in the gas valve, precisely to ensure that the gas valve remains in the right position and opening angle. If there is a slide, the sensor immediately sends an electric signal to the ECU (Electronic Care Unit). The signal will be processed and then a fuel supply or injection is carried out into the engine's fuel chamber.

In addition, the TPS sensor also functions as an engine mode when the position of the gas valve closes, namely when this condition occurs, usually when the car is in idle mode, or half open, until it is fully open.

TPS sensors also control emissions, especially when the gas valve is fully open and when the air conditioner is turned off. TPS also helps control the fuel to stop when the engine is in a deceleration position aka a slowdown.

Not only that, this sensor is tasked with ensuring a comparison measure between the amount of air and fuel. The correction will also be carried out by the TPS sensor regarding whether or not there is additional power in the engine.

One of the signs that the TPS Sensor is damaged is that the pull of the car feels heavy and complicated. In addition, the engine also doesn't want idle aka langsam. Here are tips for repairing the damaged TPS sensor.

So that the cause of the damage can be ascertained, you must check the physical sensor. Check the cable part because this component can break. Also check the connecting section (connector) whether there is dirt or carat that must be cleaned. Also check the sensor's body to make sure there are no cracks.

If the physical condition of the sensor looks good, try checking the network hardness of the TPS sensor using a multimeter. Its function is to ensure whether or not there is an open circuit or a short circuit (short circuit).

The owner is also advised to find out the ideal air temperature for the car engine so that the vehicle's performance is maximum and durable.
