BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* Throttle Position Sensor to suit Ford Falcon BA BF FG FG X (Barra I6 and Boss V8) and Territory SX SY SZ.

If your Falcon or Territory is surging at idle, cutting out under throttle, or showing fault codes P0120-P0124 - this is a direct-fit 4-pin TPS that restores accurate throttle input to the ECU. Same-day dispatch from Melbourne.

TO SUIT

This sensor suits the Ford Falcon BA BF FG and FG X series including XR6 Turbo Barra and XR8 Boss V8 engines from 2002 to 2016, plus Territory SX SY SZ and SZ II 4.0L I6 Barra engines from 2004 to 2016. 4-pin oval connector - clockwise rotation.

FITMENT CHECK

The OEM part number varied by model year: BA Falcons used 3L5Z-9B989-AA, BF and FG used 6L2Z-9B989-D, and FG X used AG1E-9E928-AA. All three are replaced by this sensor.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) mounts on the throttle body and monitors butterfly valve position, sending a voltage signal to the ECU so the engine management system can calculate the correct fuel delivery and ignition timing for your throttle input.

The Barra and Boss engines in the BA through FG X Falcon series are known to develop TPS faults with age and heat cycling. A faulty TPS causes the ECU to lose accurate throttle position data, resulting in erratic idle, hesitation, or reduced throttle response.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Rough or surging idle
Hesitation or stumble on throttle application
Engine cutting out under acceleration
Check engine light with fault codes P0120 P0121 P0122 P0123 P0124
Poor fuel economy or rich running condition
Limp mode or reduced engine power warning

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.
