Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Wiring Diagram (SOHC)

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Wiring Diagram (1996, 1997, 1998 Dodge/Plymouth Neon 2.0L SOHC/DOHC)

NOTE: The throttle position sensor (TPS) wiring diagrams and info in this page apply only to 1996, 1997, 1998 Dodge/Plymouth SOHC/DOHC 2.0L Neon.

The PCM provides 5 Volts DC on the PPL/WHT wire to both the throttle position sensor and IAT/MAP sensor (intake air temperature/manifold absolute pressure sensor).

If you're testing for a short to Ground, a short to power, or an open in this circuit, you'll need to unplug both sensors to test this circuit.

The following tutorial may be of help when testing the actual throttle position sensor (to see if it's creating a signal, or not, with a multimeter):

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Diagnostic/Troubleshooting Notes:

The PCM provides a sensor Ground on the BLK/LT BLU wire to a total of 9 components (including your Neon's throttle position sensor).

If you're testing for a short to Ground, a short to power, or an open in this circuit, you'll need to unplug all of the sensors/components this sensor Ground wire connects to.

Where To Buy The TPS And Save

You can buy the throttle position sensor for your Dodge/Plymouth Neon in just about any auto parts store but you'll spend a whole lot more because they mark it up quite a bit.

My suggestion is to buy it online or at least comparison shop to get an idea of how much it costs and how much you can save.
