Standard Ignition TH456 Throttle Position Sensor

Throttle Position Sensor for Dodge Ram

Standard Ignition TH456 is a throttle position sensor built to match OE-installed output values for consistent throttle feedback. It is designed for 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 1500, 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 3500, and 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 2500 applications with a full bellcrank assembly.

Key Features

• OE-style installed output calibration for accurate throttle signal delivery
• Flexible polyimide film or ceramic-based circuit construction for dimensional stability
• Integral rotor bearings and return springs for smoother installation and operation
• Female oval connector with 6 male pin terminals
• End-of-line tested with thousands of data points to verify output voltage performance

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition TH456 throttle position sensor is engineered for direct replacement use on select Dodge Ram trucks. By maintaining specific installed outputs rather than using an adjustable consolidated design, it helps preserve the signal characteristics expected by the vehicle control system. The sensor’s circuit construction supports stable electrical performance, while the integrated rotor bearings and return springs help simplify installation on the throttle linkage assembly. This TH456 part number is a practical choice for Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 owners addressing throttle signal concerns on the listed full bellcrank assembly applications.

This part cross-references 2-60078 and 53032456AB for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Throttle signal irregularities that can affect engine response
• Erratic or inconsistent accelerator pedal feedback
• Diagnostic trouble codes related to throttle position input
• Rough drivability caused by inaccurate sensor output
• Replacement needs on worn throttle position sensor assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal layout, and mounting location before installation. This sensor uses a female oval connector with 6 male pin terminals and does not include mounting hardware. Confirm the vehicle is one of the listed Dodge Ram applications and that the throttle linkage is the full bellcrank assembly specified in the fitment notes. The TH456 should be installed with the throttle system in proper alignment to maintain the intended output range.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition subjects this throttle position sensor to end-of-line testing with extensive voltage data verification to help confirm output consistency before it leaves the factory. The design also uses stable circuit materials to reduce electrical drift over time. Part number TH456 is built to OE-style output expectations for the listed Dodge Ram fitments.
