Abstract

For fuel management of the engine and throttle valve opening, throttle position sensor plays the vital role. The traditional method for testing of such sensors at various angle and observe its effects was done manually. To overcome this method, the idea is to develop a system which is fully digital and controlled automatically. The aim of the system is to provide controlling system which includes sensing and identifying fault input signals from the throttle position sensor assembly sensors. Also a system is implemented for calibrating an engine throttle position sensor operation of a system. This system will not only will improve the performance characteristics but also will be a time efficient system.
