The throttle position sensor, or TPS, is situated along the side of the throttle body, that come with small metric steel screws. This sensor measures the position from the throttle butterfly and transmits these details towards the powertrain control module, or PCM. A faulty TPS will give you the PCM with incorrect or inadequate details about the throttle position. A Renault can clip v117 tool attached to the vehicle is needed to find out set up TPS isn't good.

Because it descends towards the floor the reading through around the scan tool should progressively increase to see at "100%" when the pedal reaches the ground.
