Chevrolet Colorado Throttle Position Sensor

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) in engine of Chevrolet Colorado is responsible for regulating the availability of air-fuel for combustion. Its primary task is to read the throttle position and provide real time signal to the injection system depending on the power demand of the engine. There is feedback loop many times a second for the power control, maintaining a smooth acceleration, cruising, and deceleration. Chevrolet Colorado models employ new generation of Non-contact Throttle Position Sensor technologies that include Hall effect and magnetoresistive type as opposed to potentiometric types which employ contact connections. These current types of sensors improve reliability and functionality because they work on the changes of the magnetic field and not resistance. Furthermore, other incorporations that complement the production or application of related accelerator pedal sensors, such as wide open throat (WOT) sensors, enhance the electronic throttle control system on Colorado vehicles and, in effect, engine efficiency.

Each OEM Chevrolet Colorado 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.

Chevrolet Colorado Throttle Position Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: What is the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and how does it work for Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon?
    A: The TPS is a potentiometer linked to the end of the throttle shaft in the throttle body. The PCM uses this TPS output voltage to determine fuel delivery versus throttle valve angle. The Throttle Actuator Control system (TAC) works with the TPS and APP sensors. They actually are two sensors located in one housing. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are set when there is a disparity between the actual throttle position and that which is sensed by the TPS unit. It is necessary to replace a whole throttle body when its TPS acts up.
