NTK TH0148 Throttle Position Sensor

Throttle Position Sensor Overview

NTK TH0148 is a throttle position sensor built for import applications that require accurate throttle input feedback. It is a throttle body mounted sensor with a rectangular female connector and blade terminals for a direct electrical interface.

Compatible With 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2001-2006 Kia Optima, and 2002-2005 Hyundai Sonata. This NTK throttle position sensor is part of the NTK Throttle Position Sensor line, backed by NTK's OE-focused sensor engineering.

• Plastic sensor housing for a lightweight, compact design
• Throttle body mounted construction for direct throttle input measurement
• Rectangular connector with 1 female connector interface
• 3 male blade terminals for electrical connection
• Built to meet or exceed OE specifications

Detailed Product Information

The TH0148 is designed for vehicles that rely on precise throttle position feedback to manage engine response and drivability. As a throttle position sensor, it reports throttle movement to the engine management system so the vehicle can adjust fuel delivery and related control strategies. NTK applies OE experience and testing methods that include thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification to support consistent sensor performance. This part cross-references Delphi SS10999 and Standard Ignition TH292 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Erratic throttle response during acceleration
• Unstable idle caused by incorrect throttle signal output
• Check engine light related to throttle position sensor faults
• Hesitation or poor drivability from inconsistent throttle feedback
• Fault codes tied to throttle position signal range or performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and throttle body mounting before installation. Confirm the replacement sensor matches the original electrical interface and mounting style on the vehicle. After installation, clear any stored diagnostic trouble codes and confirm throttle signal operation with a scan tool.

Quality Assurance

NTK states that its technical sensors are tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions and are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications. The TH0148 is part of NTK's sensor-focused product line for import and domestic applications.
