Where is the throttle position sensor on a 2001 dodge 2500 cummins automatic trans?

On a 2001 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins engine and automatic transmission, the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is located on the throttle body. The throttle body itself is situated on the intake manifold, usually near the air filter housing. It's a relatively small sensor attached to the throttle body. You'll likely see a wiring harness connected to it.

Because there's some variation between specific engine configurations, it's best to:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most accurate source.

2. Use a repair manual specific to your year and engine: These manuals often have detailed diagrams. A Haynes or Chilton manual would work.

3. Search online for diagrams: Search for "2001 Dodge 2500 Cummins throttle body diagram" to find images that might show the TPS location. Be sure you're using a diagram for your specific engine (e.g., 5.9L, 8.3L).

Remember to be careful when working around the throttle body and intake manifold as these components can be sensitive.
