2. Throttle position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_position_sensor

   A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the throttle body valve position for the ECU of an engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle/shaft, so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle. More advanced forms of the sensor are also used. For example, an extra "closed throttle position ...

3. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

   Electronic throttle control (ETC) is an automobile technology that uses electronics to replace the traditional mechanical linkages between the driver's input such as a foot pedal to the vehicle's throttle mechanism which regulates speed or acceleration. This concept is often called drive by wire, [1][2] and sometimes called accelerate-by-wire ...

4. Transmission control unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Unit

   Transmission control unit. A transmission control unit (TCU), also known as a transmission control module (TCM), or a gearbox control unit (GCU), is a type of automotive ECU that is used to control electronic automatic transmissions. Similar systems are used in conjunction with various semi-automatic transmissions, purely for clutch automation ...

   Throttle position; Fuel temperature; Exhaust oxygen content (narrowband) Road speed; The intake air mass is measured with a "hot-wire" mass airflow sensor: drawn in by intake manifold vacuum, air moves past an electrically heated wire filament, and the degree to which the filament is cooled indicates the mass of the airstream.

6. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

   A crank sensor (CKP) [1][2][3] is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.

7. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

   Electronic throttle control, throttle position sensor fault or cruise control failure (see drive by wire) [11] Stuck throttle (unrelated to pedal position) [12] [13] Shorting of tin whiskers [14] [15] Diesel engine runaway: Diesel engine power is governed by the amount of fuel supplied. Excessive pressure in the crankcase can force mist of ...
