This part number, TH435, is also referenced by interchange numbers including 2-60057 and 048133154. It is not compatible with vehicles equipped with cruise control on the noted 1990-1992 Volkswagen Jetta and 1990-1992 Volkswagen Passat applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Throttle angle signal errors sent to the engine control system
• Rough or inconsistent throttle response
• Driveability concerns related to throttle position feedback
• Emission control faults tied to incorrect throttle input
• Diagnostic trouble codes associated with throttle position sensor performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. TH435 uses a female plug-in connector with three male blade terminals, so the replacement should match the original electrical interface on the vehicle. Confirm that the vehicle is not equipped with cruise control where the fitment notes exclude that configuration. For accurate results, compare the original sensor and connector layout to the part number TH435 before installation.
