How to replace the TP sensor on Ford Escape?

This procedure applies to 2008 and earlier V6 models and to 2003 through 2008 four-cylinder models; on other models, the TP sensor is part of the throttle body. Begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal. For V6 models, remove the engine cover, noting that the PSP switch is located on the power steering pressure line near the oil filler cap. Next, disconnect the TP sensor electrical connector and unscrew the PSP switch with a wrench. Remove the TP sensor mounting screws and take out the TP sensor. When installing the TP sensor screws on a four-cylinder model, ensure to hand start the screws, as they are self-threading and improper installation could damage the throttle body. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal. After reconnecting the battery, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance.

Ford Escape Throttle Position Sensor

Ford Escape Vehicles use a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) which is a very important part in the cold air intake system that mixes fuel with air before burning. The TPS relays real-time signals of throttle position to the fuel injection system enabling the engine control unit to alter fuel supply depending on power needs. This feedback loop happens several times per second to make sure that the acceleration and deceleration is gradual. Various types of TPS have been used in the Ford Escape models over the years, including state of the art non-contact sensors such as the Hall effect, inductive or magnetoresistive sensors. These new sensors are of the potentiomeric type while the older ones were based on the contact and the change of resistance. The non-contact TPS increases reliability and performance because it detects the change of the magnetic field and does not wear out due to contact with moving parts. Altogether, the Throttle Position Sensor is crucial for the proper working of Ford Escape vehicles, which directly affects fuel consumption and the performance of the engine.
