Default 03 Denali yukon xl 1500 6.0l throttle position sensor location

I was reading on where the throttle position sensor wad located and this part they seem to show right near the throttle body where you have to move the alternator

They said this one fits my motor but I couldn't find where it'* located at


and this one is part of the throttle body


Would this one be just my throttle position sensor or do I have 2.

Anyone know

Sometimes but not always a TPS will throw a Service /Engine light on with a code.
General symptoms, delayed acceleration,surging speed on it'* own or idle problems/stalling.
What symptoms are you experiencing that makes you believe it is the TPS ? Any codes?

If he is DBW, his TPS is in the accelerator itself.

If you can find a scantool that can do live data, monitor the TPS sensor as you are stepping on the accelerator. You should see the throttle go from 0-100% with no gaps or hiccups.
