Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Wiring Diagram (1993, 1994, 1995 4.0L Jeep Grand Cherokee)

APPLIES TO: This throttle position sensor (TPS) circuit wiring diagram applies to the following vehicles:

1993, 1994, 1995 4.0L Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The TPS needs power and Ground to create a throttle angle voltage signal. This power is in the form of 5 Volts DC and is supplied by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The VIO/WHT wire of the throttle position sensor harness connector is the one that feeds this power to the sensor.

The PCM is also the one that supplies Ground to the TPS on the BLK/LT BLU wire.

Here, in a nutshell is how the TPS works:

With the throttle plate closed (like when the engine is just idling), the throttle position sensor creates a voltage of about 0.2 to 0.9 Volts DC.
Once the throttle plate opens (like when you step on the accelerator pedal), the throttle position sensor reacts to the amount of throttle plate movement and creates and increasing voltage signal.
At wide-open throttle (WOT), the TPS should output about 4.8 Volts DC.
As you take your foot off the accelerator pedal, the throttle angle voltage signal returns back to the original voltage value.
The throttle angle voltage signal is sent to the PCM on the ORG/DK BLU wire of the sensor's harness connector.

NOTE: The BLK/LT BLU wire feeds Ground (from the PCM) to several sensors (including the TPS).

The following tutorial explains how to test the TP sensor, covered by this wiring diagram, with a multimeter: How To Test The TPS (1993-1995 4.0L Grand Cherokee).
