BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* throttle position sensor for Holden Barina Spark MJ, Barina SB and TK, Astra, Camira, Combo and Viva.

On a small city car, a drifting TPS is usually first noticed as a rough idle or a stall at the roundabout or the lights - annoying in daily traffic and, left long enough, a fuel economy drain too. This replacement is built to OE reference 94580175 for a direct plug-and-play fit. Dispatched same or next business day from Cranbourne VIC.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

These small-capacity engines run a narrower idle-airflow window than a V6 Commodore, so the ECU is more sensitive to a TPS signal that's started to drift - it doesn't take much voltage error to unsettle the idle or trip a fault code on a 1.2L-1.8L four-cylinder.

In stop-start city driving, a marginal sensor on these models tends to show up as a stumble or stall pulling away from a stop rather than a highway symptom, since that's where the ECU relies most heavily on an accurate low-throttle-angle reading.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Fault codes P0120 / P0121 / P0122 / P0123 / P0124
Stalling or hesitation pulling away from a stop
Rough or hunting idle
Hesitation or flat spot on acceleration
Vehicle entering limp mode or showing reduced engine power
Poor fuel economy or hard starting when cold

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.
