Nissan Maxima Throttle Position Sensor
The Nissan Maxima's Throttle Position Sensor measures the angle of the throttle blade and sends this information to the engine computer. The computer uses this data to help set the appropriate fuel delivery. The butterfly spindle's movement is monitored by the Throttle Position Sensor. This sensor sends an electrical voltage signal to the control unit several times per second. The control unit then adjusts the quantity of fuel, which is proportional to the air flow. This results in smooth acceleration, cruising, or slowing down of the Maxima. The Throttle Position Sensor is a type of feedback loop in electronic throttle control systems. It positions the throttle plate for efficient combustion in a Nissan engine. Modern designs use non-contact Hall effect, inductive, or magnetoresistive technology to determine changes in a magnetic field created by a two-pole rare-earth magnet mounted on the spindle. As a result, brush wear present in older technology potentiometric units is eliminated. Consistent input from the Throttle Position Sensor helps avoid reduced fuel efficiency and performance limitations. However, sudden Throttle Position Sensor failure (as can happen with the Nissan Maxima sensor) can cause significant driveability issues, so it's crucial to maintain it in good condition. Consequently, every Nissan Maxima features a Throttle Position Sensor among its menu of electronic parts.

Nissan Maxima Throttle Position Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the purpose of the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on Nissan Maxima?A:A variable-resistance potentiometer called the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is attached to the throttle body's side, and it is connected to the throttle shaft. The TPS monitors the output voltage from TPS in order to determine fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle. An unstable idle and intermittent bursts of fuel may be caused by a broken or loose TPS. First, check for voltage supply and ground circuits from the PCM to the TPS before checking the TPS. Next, connect an ohmmeter across the TPS terminals and read off resistance with the gas pedal totally closed and progressively opened. As you increase the opening of the car's throttle control, you ought to observe an increase in resistance. Remove connector WOT/COT position switch connector and check for continuity at full throttle closed for no continuity as you open. If any readings are not correct, replace your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Disconnect battery cable, remove air intake duct then disconnect your oxygen sensor electrical connectors (wide open/closed throttle switch or WOT/COT switch). By removing screws that hold it in place, separate from throttle body a TPS can be detached. Put new one in right place and adjust till it is good enough for you.
