How to Diagnose and Fix a Throttle Position Sensor on Chrysler Sebring?

Before starting the service or repair of the Throttle Position Sensor, you must remove the negative battery cable and the sensor electrical connector. Unscrew the two bolts that keep the throttle position sensor fastened and remove the sensor. When placing the throttle body during installation, slide the throttle shaft end into the part of the TPS that has two tabs and ensure the shaft touches those two tabs. If the TPS is correctly indexed, turning it slightly clockwise brings its mounting screw holes to match those in the throttle body and there is slight tension felt during rotation. If rotation is hard, turn the sensor around to place the throttle shaft away from the tabs. Secure the mounting screws to 5.1 N.m (45 in. lbs.). After fitting the sensor, make sure the throttle plate is shut; if it is not, install the sensor on the side with the tabs. Then, fix the electrical connector to the TPS and put back the negative battery cable in its position.

How to Service and Repair a Throttle Position Sensor on a 4-Cylinder Engine on Chrysler Sebring?

Before repairing the Throttle Position Sensor on a 4-chamber engine, take off the negative battery cable and remove the electrical link to the sensor. Get the screws that connect the throttle position sensor and take the sensor out. Make sure the end of the throttle shaft goes into the TPS socket, since this is where there are two tiny tabs inside to lock the throttle shaft in place. If you have properly indexed the TPS, it can rotate a little clockwise until its mounting screw holes match up with those on the throttle body. The TPS will also have a slight amount of tension in place. If the sensor won't rotate, place the throttle shaft on the board where the holes or indentations are not found. Apply a torque of 5.1 Nm or 45 in. lbs. when tightening the mounting screws. After you've installed everything, make sure the throttle plate is closed; if it's not, attach the sensor to the other set of tabs. After you're done running the test, reattach the electrical connector to the TPS and put the negative battery cable back.

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) of Chrysler sebring cars is very important, especially when controlling the air fuel mixture for combustion. As a result of sensing the throttle position, the TPS passes signals to the fuel injection system and these signals are interpreted by the computer of the engine for fuel delivery depending on power request. This feedback loop takes place several times per second, thus enabling the smooth transition through acceleration, cruising and deceleration. Chrysler Sebring over the years has used a number of Throttle Position Sensors of TP Sensor types like Hall and inductive and the magnetoresistive non-contact sensors. Traditional potentiometric sensors, in contrast, are based on the mechanical contact between the sensing and the measured objects, these new TPS respond to the fluctuations in a magnetic field, increasing both dependability and efficiency. Further, accelerator pedal sensors inclusive of a WOT sensor is useful to Chrysler Sebring vehicle's electronic throttle control systems, enhancing the efficiency of the vehicle's engine.
