BWD Throttle Position Sensor
See if this part fits a specific vehicle.
BWD throttle position sensors maintain specific installed outputs to match OE rather than adjustable consolidated designs. The circuits are printed on flexible polyimide film or ceramic-based substrates for excellent dimensional stability and for the prevention of electrical performance drift.

I purchased this TPS to clear a P-0122 intermittent fault coad on a 2003 Jeep liberty. Even though the venicle did not indicate a active fault code it was using a lot of fuel. Fuel milage is back to normal! I've used BWD parts in the past and they seem to function well and last. Also, I've always received great service and some good deals at Advance auto.P

Comments about BWD Throttle Position Sensor:
This throttle position sensor was very simple to install. Simply remove a couple small bolts and attach the new one with a couple small bolts. It is great when you can actually consider a car part as "Plug & Play"!!!!

Comments about BWD Throttle Position Sensor:
Price and service at Advance Auto is always good. Vehicle had a high idle(2000 rpm) when cold, then would idle down in about 25 seconds. Replaced the throttle position sensor, and works perfect now. Cold idle is 1000 rpm, then immediately starts to drop to about 475 rpm. Excellent product with lifetime warranty.

The part solved my problem of the warning code and hesitation with the gas. It was difficult to install in my 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee due to the location. But the part works just fine.

Q:
I have a P0122 code, and Im almost certain it is cause by the TPS. Do you know any way to test if my TPS isnt working well.Asked on 1/29/2013 by snoopy from vero beach1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
29. With reference to your inquiry on the BWD Throttle Position Sensor -part# EC3297, a faulty TPS may be the cause of many drive-ability problems. Unexpected stalling, rough idle, hesitation upon accelerating, or unexplained acceleration while cruising at a steady speed are all symptoms of a defective TPS. Disconnect the TPS connector. There are three wires going to the sensor body, the negative ground, the +12 Volt input, and the variable output to the onboard computer. Insert the alligator clip test leads into the appropriate jacks on your DMM and set the "Range Switch" to the 20,000-Ohm or the 20K Ohm scale. Connect one of the test leads to the center connector, the computer output connector, and the other lead to either the +12 volt or the -- Ground connector on the TPS connector. The polarity of the test probes doesn't matter when making this test. Slowly, move the throttle through its full range of movement from its "closed" position to its "full open" position, while observing the digital readout on the DMM. It should increase or decrease steadily and evenly as the throttle linkage is moved through its full range. Any sudden drops or increases in the reading indicates a bad TPS which needs to be replaced. A drop to infinite resistance at any point indicates a break in the TPS's resistance element and also indicates a bad TPS. For any further assistance, please visit your nearest Advance Auto store or call us directly at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and one of our representatives there would be more than happy to assist you.Answered on 1/29/2013 by Vincent from AAP
