The TPS is responsible for providing the engine control unit (ECU) with information about the position of the throttle valve. This information is used by the ECU to calculate the amount of fuel that needs to be injected into the engine. If the TPS fails or provides incorrect information, the ECU may not be able to accurately control the fuel injection, which could result in the fuel pump not receiving the correct signal to operate properly.
In summary, while the TPS does not directly stop the fuel pump from working, its failure or malfunction can disrupt the fuel injection process, potentially leading to issues with the fuel pump operation.
