How to Maintain the Throttle Position Sensor on 3.3/3.8L Engines on Dodge Grand Caravan?

Before servicing the Throttle Position Sensor on 3.3/3.8L engines, remove the negative battery cable. Second, uncouple the connector on the Inlet Air Temperature sensor and open the air cleaner box; then disconnect the hose from the throttle body. Unhook the wiring from the Throttle Position Sensor and the Idle Air Control. After that, pull out the cables from the throttle body and get rid of the three mounting bolts that secure it. When you've taken out the throttle body, connect the purge vacuum to the mixer housing and unplug the Throttle Position Sensor from the throttle body.

How to Service a Throttle Position Sensor on Dodge Grand Caravan?

Before servicing the Throttle Position Sensor, remove the negative cable from the battery. Pull the electrical connector from the throttle position sensor and remove the mounting screws. Take off the throttle position sensor from the throttle shaft. The throttle shaft end of the throttle body needs to go into the TPS socket, so the throttle shaft is held by two tabs inside the TPS. Properly indexing the torque preload system allows it to rotate slightly clockwise until its screw holes line up with those on the throttle body, feeling some tension as it moves. Should you find rotating the sensor hard, try attaching it with the throttle shaft at the opposite end from the tabs. Secure the throttle position sensor by wrapping mounting screws around the throttle shaft and tightening them, setting the torque to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.). Once again attach the electrical connector to the throttle position sensor and then link the negative battery cable.

TPS in the Dodge Grand Caravan models helps in regulating the amount of air and fuel into the combustion chamber to fuel the vehicle. By sensing the position of the throttle valve the Throttle Position Sensor sends constant signals to the injection system throughout the car's computer so as to regulate fuel flow dependant on the power output from the engine. This feedback loop happens many times per second, and allows the car to smoothly accelerate, maintain speed, or decelerate. Dodge Grand Caravan models are now fitted with complex non-contact Throttle Position Sensor technologies like Hall effect and magnetoresistive sensors unlike the potentiometric types that are in contact. These "modern" sensors improve dependability and effectiveness of motors by monitoring variation in magnetic fields in place of resistance. Furthermore, related accelerator pedal sensors - the Wide Open Throttle (WOT) sensors - together with the Throttle Position Sensor in various electronic throttle control injectors improve vehicle performance.
