BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* throttle position sensor to suit the Hyundai and Kia V6 petrol range.

A failing throttle position sensor on the Sonata or Carnival usually shows up as a rough idle and confused automatic shifting, often with the engine light on. This is a direct OEM replacement, shipped from Melbourne.

TO SUIT

Fits Hyundai Sonata EF 2.5L and 2.7L V6, Trajet FO 2.7L V6, Tiburon GK and Tucson JM V6, plus Kia Carnival KV 2.5L V6, Optima GD 2.5L and 2.7L V6 and Sportage V6.

Full vehicle and date coverage is listed in the compatibility table.

FITMENT CHECK

Two similar-looking throttle position sensors are used across the Hyundai and Kia range and they are not interchangeable. This one has a smooth rectangular connector housing with three dark flat blades and replaces OE 35170-22001 or 35170-22010.

The four cylinder Getz, Accent, Elantra XD and Cerato take a different sensor with a ribbed housing and three gold pins, OE 35170-22600, which we list separately. Compare your existing plug before ordering.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The throttle position sensor tells the ECU how far the throttle plate has opened so it can set injector pulse width and ignition timing. On these V6 engines the transmission control module reads the same signal to schedule shifts.

Wear concentrates at the low throttle angles where the engine idles and cruises. On the Sonata and Carnival the usual result is a rough idle paired with hunting or delayed gearchanges around town.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Rough or fluctuating idle
Hunting or delayed automatic gearchanges
Hesitation and flat spots on acceleration
Engine light with throttle position circuit codes
Fault codes P0120, P0121, P0122 or P0123

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.
