SKP SKTH189 Throttle Position Sensor

Throttle Position Sensor for Dodge and Jeep

The SKP SKTH189 throttle position sensor is a direct-fit replacement for select Dodge and Jeep applications. It restores accurate throttle input signal delivery for vehicles that rely on precise sensor feedback for drivability and engine management.

Key Features

• Direct-fit throttle position sensor replacement
• Compatible with select Dodge Dakota applications
• Compatible with select Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Wrangler applications
• Supports consistent throttle signal reporting to the engine control system
• SKP part number SKTH189 for easy identification

Detailed Description

SKTH189 is built for vehicles that use an electronic throttle position sensor to monitor throttle movement and send that information to the control system. When the sensor signal becomes inconsistent, the engine may not respond smoothly to throttle input. This replacement sensor is listed for 1997-2001 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2001 Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Wrangler applications, making it a fitment-based solution for common drivability concerns on these platforms. The SKTH189 part number is also referenced as TH189T in the T Series interchange listing.

What It Is Used For

• Erratic throttle response
• Throttle signal faults
• Hesitation during acceleration
• Unstable idle related to sensor input
• Check engine light conditions tied to throttle position feedback

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, mounting style, and calibration requirements against the original sensor before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, and model, since fitment is limited to the listed Dodge and Jeep platforms. After installation, clear any stored fault codes and confirm throttle response during a road test.

Quality Assurance

SKP replacement sensors are cataloged for direct-fit application matching. Cross-reference numbers for this part include 977519 and TPS146 for the same application.
