It’s hard to say without actually seeing the car, but it’s likely the throttle body / etm.
Oh okay.. I had the problem before the cleaning however after the cleaning it stoped for a while however it started back. The check engine code said the sensor but I honestly don’t know..is the module dealing with software?
Hi, if the problem started right after the throttle body was worked on, check all the connections in the area. I think the 2001 s80 has something called an ETM (electronic throttle module) rather than a standard tps. They are kind of notorious for causing trouble. Unfortunately I think if it’s bad, the whole throttle body needs replacing.
I have a Volvo s80 2001 I had my throttle body clean and after cleaning I got a code saying sensor was bad. Do I have a sensor on my car or do I have to replace the whole throttle body. My car goes into limp mode and idle up by itself
I bad sensor might cause that. Try the test and see what the results are. Any check engine lights?
I was just curious what kind of problem is associated with a bad throttle position sensor? Because I have a 97 Volvo 850 turbo that starts wanting to turn off when idling on the drive gear. Would greatly appreciate your help, thanks.
If you don’t have a diagram, use a volt meter. One wire will be a constant voltage (usually 5v DC and one will raise in voltage as the sensor is moved toward the open throttle position.
Good video, my sensor is 3 wires in a triangle shaped plug. How do you tell which is input and which are the outputs?
How about a video for cleaning a maf sensor on a 1998 s70 volvo glt. Should I disconnect the neg battery cable?
My Volvo s70 is weird. I cannot seem to find the sensor, itself. I need to replace it lol but Ihave no idea where it is xS
Not a stupid question at all, but no chance of a shock, it’s a 5v circuit.
Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just don’t want to get zapped…
Do you first disconnect the neg. terminal on the car battery?
Glad to help out!
Great video thank you.
1999 & 2000 models use drive by wire; no TPS like this one and is supplied in an internal unit on the Magnetti Marelli throttle body
Thanks for the kind words, hopefully it checks out, and is still good!
Good video..makes sense to me. Gonna test mine now…
is it suppose to have 3 wires? i think mine have only 2.. its a wire clip attached to a black box thingy beside the throttle butterfly… can i get iw wrong? im using a nissan rb20det r32 skyline gts..
your method is good but which 2 wire u conact with meltimeter i mean 1 of them is 12v ground and 2 is signle wire of tps ? plz explene
Thank you so much for the great video…It really helped explain the problem.
I’m not sure about other makes, but I think all volvo 3 wire TPS are the same wiring.
is it pretty much the same for all three wire tps ?
