BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* throttle position sensor to suit Hyundai iLoad iMax Getz Accent Elantra i20 i30 and Kia Rio Rondo Soul Cee'd Cerato 1.4L to 2.4L petrol engines.

A worn or drifting throttle position sensor causes rough idle, hesitation and a check engine light that keeps coming back across this whole engine family. This direct-fit replacement restores an accurate throttle signal to the ECU and ships same-day from our Cranbourne VIC warehouse.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The throttle position sensor mounts to the throttle body and reports throttle plate angle to the engine ECU as a variable voltage signal, letting the engine management system calculate the correct fuel and idle response across the G4ED, G4EE, G4EC, G4GC, G4FA, G4FC, G4KA and G4KC/G4KG engines fitted to these models.

A failing sensor sends an inaccurate or erratic signal, which the ECU reads as a throttle position it can't trust - triggering limp mode, rough idle or hesitation on these Hyundai and Kia four-cylinder engines, including the larger iLoad and iMax vans under load.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Check engine light with fault codes P0120 / P0121 / P0122 / P0123
Rough or fluctuating idle speed
Hesitation or flat spot on acceleration
Reduced engine power or limp home mode
Poor fuel economy
Engine stalling at idle or low speed

What fault codes does a faulty TPS trigger?

A faulty throttle position sensor typically triggers codes P0120 to P0124. P0120 and P0121 indicate the TPS signal is out of range, P0122 and P0123 indicate the signal is too low or too high, and P0124 indicates an intermittent signal. On drive-by-wire vehicles additional codes related to the electronic throttle control system may also be present.

Can a faulty TPS cause my automatic transmission to shift incorrectly?

Yes. The ECU shares throttle position data with the transmission control module to determine when to upshift and downshift. A faulty TPS sending incorrect throttle angle data can cause erratic shift points, harsh gear changes, the transmission hunting between gears, or the vehicle remaining in a fixed gear. Replacing the TPS often resolves transmission behaviour issues that appear unrelated.

Is it safe to drive with a faulty throttle position sensor?

It depends on how severely the sensor has failed. A partially failed TPS may cause hesitation and poor throttle response but the vehicle remains driveable. A fully failed TPS on a drive-by-wire vehicle can trigger limp mode, restricting the engine to a fixed low throttle position to prevent runaway acceleration. In either case replace the sensor as soon as possible as the fault can worsen without warning.

What are the symptoms of a faulty throttle position sensor?

Symptoms include jerky or hesitant acceleration, rough idle, unexpected surging, poor throttle response, stalling, and fault codes P0120-P0124. Drive-by-wire vehicles may also enter a limp mode limiting engine power.

Can I clean a throttle position sensor instead of replacing it?

TPS sensors are sealed units and cannot be cleaned or adjusted reliably. If the sensor is producing erratic signals or fault codes, replacement is the correct solution. Attempting to clean or adjust it usually results in continued faults.

Do I need to calibrate the throttle position sensor after replacement?

Many vehicles require a TPS calibration or throttle body relearn procedure after replacement. This is usually done with an OBD2 scanner or by following a specific ignition on/off sequence. Check your vehicle's service manual or contact us for guidance.
