The TPS sensor along with the vehicle speed sensor are the two main inputs for most TCUs. Older transmissions use this to determine engine load, with the introduction of drive-by-wire technology, this is often a shared input between the ECU and TCU.

Speed sensor failures are frequent, and are mainly due to the extremely harsh operating conditions encountered in rail vehicles. The relevant standards specify detailed test criteria, but in practical operation the conditions encountered are often even more extreme (such as shock/vibration and especially electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)).
The development programme for the E60 began in 1997, concluding in 2002. The lead designer was Boyke Boyer. [1] The final design, developed by Davide Arcangeli [2] under BMW Design Director Chris Bangle, [3] [4] was approved in 2000 and German design patents filed on 16 April 2002.
