TPS Suzuki Maruti

Hi, I'm new to this forum.
I wanted to know if anyone knows if it's possible to make a TPS sensor with a potentiometer. I look forward to your reply.

The potentiometer is the basic principle of a TPS, but there are ECUs that compare the TPS signals by having two potentiometers incorporated in the same TPS, so it seems somewhat difficult to do, but I suppose it is possible. Also, the resistance range varies from vehicle to vehicle.

Greetings, for testing purposes or to rule out faults, you can use a potentiometer, usually 5Kohm, although it varies depending on the vehicle brand. However, leaving it fixed is not recommended since the potentiometer material is not designed to withstand the temperatures present in the engine, and it would wear out quickly due to the extensive use it would receive, as the material cannot withstand such use.

It is possible, but you need to have the resistive values ​​and properly calibrate the splitting angle with respect to the potentiometer's resistive line. Also, the TPS has three tracks, which means you need three potentiometers that operate at 5 volts and they must also be connected to the corresponding ECU line. It's cheaper and less complicated to buy them.
