Ford TP (Throttle Position) Sensor Voltage vs. Angle Graph – 1992 Bronco

Service manual graph of throttle position (TP) sensor output voltage versus throttle shaft rotation with normal range.

AI caption · Photo 153 of 277

This document is a Throttle Position (TP) sensor reference graph, likely a page from a Ford service manual (figure reference TB-4028-A). It plots TP sensor signal voltage against throttle shaft rotation in degrees (TP rotational angle). A note states that the normal range of throttle angle measurement for the TP sensor is 0 to 85 degrees. The graph shows a linear relationship between throttle rotation and output voltage, with plotted data points at approximately 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, and 81 degrees, corresponding to voltages ranging from roughly 0.601 V near closed throttle up to about 4.538 V near 84 degrees of rotation. A ±3% tolerance band is drawn as dashed lines on either side of the nominal line, indicating acceptable sensor variation. Beyond about 84 degrees / 4.538 volts, the graph marks a region labeled "OVER-TRAVEL PERMISSIBLE," indicating the sensor may travel past the normal measurement range without fault. A technician can use this chart to verify that measured TP sensor voltage at a given throttle angle falls within the specified ±3% tolerance, helping diagnose a faulty or misadjusted TP sensor.

Frequently asked questions

What is the normal throttle angle measurement range for the TP sensor?
The document states the normal range of the throttle angle measurement for the Throttle Position (TP) sensor is from 0 to 85 degrees.
What voltage should the TP sensor read near full throttle?
According to the graph, the signal reaches approximately 4.257 volts around 78 degrees and about 4.538 volts near 84 degrees of throttle shaft rotation.
What tolerance is allowed on the TP sensor signal?
The graph shows a ±3% tolerance band (dashed lines) around the nominal voltage-versus-angle line.
Is over-travel of the TP sensor acceptable?
Yes — the graph labels the region beyond about 84 degrees / 4.538 volts as 'OVER-TRAVEL PERMISSIBLE.'
What is the approximate TP sensor voltage at low throttle angles?
The graph shows about 0.601 volts near closed throttle and roughly 1.210 volts at about 13 degrees of rotation.
