What is the function of the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor for Cadillac ElDorado,Fleetwood?

The Throttle Position (TP) Sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body, providing a voltage signal that changes with the throttle blade angle. The PCM calculates throttle position based on this signal, and fuel delivery is adjusted accordingly. Testing involves checking the connector for damage, measuring voltage at Terminal B (around 0.5 volts), smoothly operating the throttle to WOT (voltage should follow without exceeding 5 volts), and checking for proper ground and 5-volt reference signals. Removal of the TP sensor requires disconnecting the negative battery cable, removing the air cleaner, TP sensor connector, and TP sensor mounting bolts, followed by installing a new 0-ring on the TP sensor and reassembling. For the 4.6L engine, the throttle body assembly must be removed, and then the TP sensor can be detached, with the 0-ring discarded and a new one installed before reassembly.

Cadillac Eldorado Throttle Position Sensor

The Throttle Position Sensor of Cadillac Eldorado automobiles is immensely important for controlling the air fuel blend for combustion. The Throttle Position Sensor constantly reports the position of the throttle to the fuel injection system and the computer opting for changes in the fuel flow depending on the power required by the engine. This feedback loop happens several times per a second and, as a result, acceleration and deceleration occur seamlessly. The Throttle Position Sensor has been used with the elder Cadillac models like the Cadillac Eldorado models; the Throttle Position Sensor can be the conventional potentiometric Throttle Position Sensor, or modern non-contact ones like Hall effect sensors. The latter is superior to older models in design that reduces physical contact between the components leading to less wear and tear and thus greater reliability. Non-contact Throttle Position Sensor through its magnetic fields produce voltages to the ECU for enhancing the general performance and efficiency of the engine. For a car to perform at its optimal and be fuel efficient, the Throttle Position Sensor should be functioning correctly and if it fails, then it should be detected as early as possible.

Each OEM Cadillac Eldorado Throttle Position Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
