How to Remove and Install a Throttle Position Sensor on the Throttle Body on Dodge Ram 3500?

TPS can be found installed on the side of the throttle body. Remove the plastic tube from the throttle body's air intake first and afterward, see the connector on the TPS and pull it out. After that, remove the two TPS mounting bolts and pull the TPS away from the throttle body. When installing, ensure the throttle shaft of the throttle body fits inside the TPS socket and rotates about two degrees; if it does not move at all, position the sensor with the throttle shaft on the opposing side of the socket tangs since the TPS will be a bit tighter when rotated. Fasten the TPS onto the cylinder using both retaining bolts and tighten each to 7 Nm (60 in. lbs.). Next, test the drivetrain in drive pre-warm to check for binding in the TPS, attach the TPS electrical connector again and finish by putting back the air intake tube.
