General Information
Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System Description:
The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) system uses vehicle electronics and components to calculate and control the position of the throttle blade. This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. This system also performs the cruise control functions as well.
The TAC system components include the following:
^ The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor
^ The throttle body
^ The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module
^ The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Each of these components interface together to ensure accurate calculations and control of the throttle position.
