Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system delivers improved throttle response and greater reliability and eliminates the need for mechanical cable. The TAC system performs the following functions:
- Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensing
- Throttle positioning to meet driver and engine demands
- Throttle position sensing
- Internal diagnostics
- Cruise control functions
- Manage TAC electrical power consumption
The TAC system components include the following:
- The APP sensors
- The throttle body assembly
- The TAC module
- The powertrain control module (PCM)
