How to Remove and Install a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is installed inside the throttle body. What you first need to do is disconnect the TPS electrical connector, then unscrew the TPS mounting bolts and remove the TPS. For installation, slide the throttle shaft end of the throttle body into the sensor's socket, in a way that it can rotate just a bit; if it still does not rotate, put the sensor in with the throttle shaft facing the other way. A small amount of stress will be introduced into the TPS when it is turned. Attach the TPS and its screws, applying 7 Nm (60 in. lbs.) of torque. In the end, join the TPS electrical connector and try to operate the throttle without turning the engine on, just to check for any binding of the TPS first.

How to Service a Throttle Position Sensor on the Throttle Body on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The first step to access the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is to unplug the TPS electrical connector and take out the TPS mounting screws to pull the part out. Make sure the throttle shaft end fits into the TPS socket and gives the sensor some ability to rotate; if it does not, rotate the sensor by switching the throttle shaft to the other side of the socket tangs. When the TPS is given a slight rotation, it will feel more stress. Place the TPS, install the retaining screws and tighten them by hand without a torque wrench to 7 Nm (60 in. lbs.) of torque. After that, plug in the TPS electrical connector and use the throttle manually to make sure there is no binding before turning on the engine.

The TPS in Jeep Grand Cherokee cars has an important working of regulating the air fuel ratio for better combustion. The Throttle Position Sensor constantly informs the fuel injection system of the throttle position with signals that the vehicle computer can use to adjust fuel rates with the power needed by an engine. This feedback loop happens a few times per a second making the acceleration, cruising, and deceleration processes rather seamless. Through the years, Jeep has used the Throttle Position Sensor of different types in the Grand Cherokee - the potentiometric, non-contact types such as Hall effect inductive, and magnetoresistive sensors. Unlike the older models which required direct touch, these new sensors measure changes in the magnetic field; this makes the new models more reliable and fast. Also, other related throttle accelerator pedal sensors such as WOT sensors, cooperate with the Throttle Position Sensor to enhance the overall efficiency of the engine as used in Electronic Throttle Control.
