NTK TH0231 Throttle Position Sensor

NTK TH0231 Throttle Position Sensor Overview

The NTK TH0231 throttle position sensor is built for precise throttle angle feedback in select Toyota, Pontiac, and related applications. It uses a 3-terminal blade connection, a rectangular female connector, and a throttle-body-mounted design to support accurate signal delivery from the throttle body to the engine control system.

As part of the NTK Throttle Position Sensor line, this sensor reflects NTK’s focus on OE-style technical sensors for import and domestic vehicles. The TH0231 is manufactured with plastic and metal construction and is tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions to meet or exceed OE specifications.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm connector shape, terminal count, and throttle-body mounting style before installation. The TH0231 uses no mounting hardware or mounting bracket, so reuse existing vehicle mounting provisions where applicable. Verify the throttle body and connector terminals are clean and free of corrosion before connecting the sensor.

For fitment verification, match the vehicle year, make, and model exactly to the listed applications, including Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tundra, and Toyota Matrix coverage. The part number TH0231 should be cross-checked against the original sensor and catalog references before replacement.
