Daewoo AD100 user manual Throttle Body

- 48 -

Top Dead Center. When a piston is at its uppermost position in the cylinder.

TFP:

Transmission Fluid Pressure

TFT:

Transmission Fluid Temperature (Sensor)

Throttle Body:

A device which performs the same function as a carburetor in a fuel injection system. On a throttle body injection (TBI) system, the throttle body is both the air door and the location of the fuel injectors. On port fuel injection systems (PFI, MPFI, SFI, etc.), the throttle body is simply an air door. Fuel is not added until the injectors at each intake port are activated. In each case, the throttle body is attached to the accelerator pedal.

TPS:

Throttle Position Sensor. Potentiometer-type sensor connected to the throttle shaft. Its voltage signal output increases as the throttle is opened. The PCM uses this signal to control many systems such as idle speed, spark advance, fuel delivery, etc.

Traction Assist:

Assist in traction with brakes only.

Trip:

Vehicle operation for a period of time so the systems can be monitored.

TTS:

Transmission Temperature Sensor. A resistance sensor mounted in the transmission housing in contact with the transmission fluid. It sends a voltage signal to the PCM indicating the temperature of the transmission.

VECI:

Vehicle Emission Control Information. A decal located in the engine compartment containing information about the emission control systems found on the vehicle. The VECI is the authoritative source for determining whether a vehicle is OBD II compliant.

VIN:

Vehicle Identification Number. This is the factory-assigned vehicle serial number. This number is stamped on a number of locations throughout the vehicle, but the most prominent location is on top of the dashboard on the driver’s side, visible from outside the car. The VIN includes information about the car, including where it was built, body and engine codes, options, and a sequential build number.

VSS:

Vehicle Speed Sensor. Sends a frequency signal to the PCM. The frequency increases as the vehicle moves faster to give the PCM vehicle speed information used to determine shift points, engine load, and cruise control functions.

VTD:

Vehicle Theft Deterrent

Warm-up Cycle:

Warm-up cycle is when the engine coolant temperature rises at least 40 degrees above that at engine start up.

WOT:

Wide-Open Throttle. The vehicle operating condition brought about when the

throttle is completely (or nearly) open. The PCM typically delivers extra fuel to the engine and de-energizes the A/C compressor at this time for acceleration purposes. The PCM uses a switch or the TPS to identify the WOT condition.
