Product Description
23488881
The 96FB12B579EB throttle position sensor (TPS) is a precision potentiometer-type sensing module applied to monitor real-time throttle valve opening for Ford gasoline engines. Installed on the side of throttle body, it converts mechanical throttle rotation into continuous analog voltage signal and transmits data to ECU. According to throttle opening signal, ECU adjusts fuel injection volume and ignition timing dynamically, optimizes engine idle stability, throttle responsiveness and fuel efficiency. It serves as standard OE replacement part for Ford and Fiesta vehicle models.







Key Features
-
OEM Direct Fit: Produced in full compliance with OE specification 96FB12B579EB, identical mounting hole spacing, shaft inner spline size and original 3-pin connector, plug-and-play installation without modification or extra fitting adjustment.
-
High-precision Carbon Film Sensing Core: Adopts high-quality wear-resistant carbon resistance strip, realizing smooth linear voltage output across full throttle stroke to avoid signal jump or dead zone.
-
Excellent Dust & Oil Resistance: Fully sealed engineering plastic housing with internal anti-grease sealing structure, effectively isolate throttle oil vapor and dust invasion to keep stable performance under harsh engine compartment environment.
-
Stable Electrical Performance: Standard 5V reference circuit design with anti-interference component, ensuring consistent signal output under engine vibration and temperature fluctuation.
-
Strict Quality Inspection: Manufactured following IATF 16949 automotive quality standard. Each sensor passes full-stroke signal calibration, high-low temperature cycle test and mechanical swing durability inspection before delivery.
Performance Indicators
-
Idle Output Voltage: Standard idle position output ranges from 0.4V~0.6V; abnormal idle voltage leads to unstable idle speed.
-
Full-open Output Voltage: Near full throttle output reaches 4.2V~4.5V; insufficient maximum voltage causes poor acceleration power.
-
Linear Accuracy: Voltage changes linearly with throttle rotation; irregular voltage fluctuation means worn resistance strip and component failure.
-
Working Life: Typical service mileage ranges from 80,000 to 150,000 kilometers; lifespan shortens due to long-term oil contamination and frequent throttle opening/closing.
-
Rated Working Voltage: Standard 5V DC supplied by vehicle ECU; overvoltage will damage internal resistance circuit permanently.
Products Description
- Rotation Spline Shaft: Matches original throttle spindle to transfer mechanical opening angle into internal sliding movement.
- Carbon Film Resistance Base: Core sensing component generating variable voltage with sliding contact movement.
- Precision Sliding Contact: Metal spring contact keeping tight fit with carbon strip for stable signal conduction.
- Integrated Sealed Plastic Housing: High-temperature resistant outer shell with internal seal to prevent oil and dust entering inner structure.
- Pin OEM Electrical Connector: Tin-plated terminal plug with anti-oxidation design for reliable circuit connection.

Installation Notes
-
Always disconnect vehicle battery before installation to avoid ECU circuit damage.
-
Align internal spline with throttle spindle and fix two mounting screws evenly without forced extrusion.
-
Do not knock or distort sensor housing during installation to prevent internal contact damage.
-
After installation, use diagnostic tool to clear relevant fault codes and verify idle & full-throttle voltage data.
-
Replace sensor when encountering erratic idle, sluggish acceleration, rising fuel consumption or illuminated check engine light.
