Wells 5S5182 Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) OE Replacement

The Wells 5S5182 Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a precision-engineered OE replacement sensor designed to restore proper throttle response and engine management. The Throttle Position Sensor measures the angle of the throttle plate as the driver presses on the accelerator pedal and sends a voltage signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM interprets this voltage signal and commands the fuel, transmission, and ignition systems based on the sensor's input.

A malfunctioning or inoperative Throttle Position Sensor can cause drivability symptoms such as a no-start condition, hesitation, stalling, and surging. It can also trigger the Check Engine Light (CEL), Service Engine Soon (SES), or Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), and may set a diagnostic trouble code (P-code) in the ECM.

Key Features:

• Designed and manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer specifications for performance and durability
• Hall Effect integrated circuitry replaces failure-prone mechanical contact fingers and ink traces found in original designs, with no wear points in the circuitry for more accurate and consistent electrical output
• Matches or improves on OE design to ensure fast, easy installation, superior performance, and reliability
• Engineered to withstand heat and vibration for extended service life
• Includes all necessary hardware for a complete installation

The Throttle Position Sensor monitors the position of the throttle blade within the throttle body, making it a critical component for proper engine operation, fuel efficiency, and smooth acceleration. The Wells 5S5182 is built to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance as a direct OE replacement.
