What does a throttle potentiometer do?
The throttle potentiometer is the recipient of the signal from the accelerator pedal where vehicles have an electronic pedal (and therefore not a cable operated one)
What does a throttle position sensor replacement involve?
Depending on the manufacturer, a number of different processes will need to be done in order to access the throttle potentiometer, however the mechanic will need to do some of the following basic steps
- The mechanic will assess the situation by reading the diagnostic codes and checking live data
- Once confirmed that the throttle potentiometer is faulty, they will continue on to replacing it.
- Once replaced, the mechanic will start the engine and recheck the error codes
Can I do a throttle position sensor replacement myself?
Unless you are a qualified mechanic with the required skills, training and equipment to do the job, we strongly recommend a throttle position sensor replacement is only carried out by a professional mechanic.

Can I drive with a bad throttle position sensor?
Driving the vehicle with a bad throttle position sensor will result in poor engine performance and the car may stall. If you suspect there is any issue with your vehicle's throttle position sensor or there are concerns about its condition, book an inspection with a professional mechanic as soon as possible so they can check and advise on next steps.
