The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a type of automotive sensor used to monitor the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine. It is typically located on the butterfly spindle/shaft so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle. The TPS provides feedback to the engine control unit (ECU) so that the correct amount of fuel is delivered for the amount of air entering the engine, allowing the engine to run efficiently. TPSs are used in a variety of applications, including fuel injection systems, cruise control systems, and engine management systems. They are also used in hybrid and electric vehicles to monitor the position of the accelerator pedal. The TPS market is an important part of the automotive sensor industry, as it is used in a wide range of vehicles. It is a highly competitive market, with many companies offering a variety of products. Some of the major players in the market include Delphi Technologies, Denso Corporation, Robert Bosch GmbH, Continental AG, and Hitachi Automotive Systems. Show Less Read more
