Throttle Position Sensor TPS for Polaris
This throttle position sensor (TPS) for Polaris 600 800 Switchback uses OEM cross-reference numbers SM-01280 and 3131591 to provide accurate throttle position feedback for the ECU. The TPS for Polaris 600 800 Switchback ensures crisp throttle response and stable idle in deep snow and groomed trail conditions. This SM-01280 replacement TPS for Polaris is designed to restore factory performance after sensor wear or failure.
Overview
This throttle position sensor (TPS) with cross references SM-01280 and 3131591 measures the exact angle of the throttle plate and sends that data to the engine control unit. It is built for Polaris 600 and 800 Switchback snowmobiles, helping the engine deliver the correct fuel mixture at every throttle position. Replacing a failing TPS for Polaris resolves stalling, hesitation, and erratic idle.

Good To Know
Q: What happens if I run a snowmobile with a bad TPS? A: A faulty TPS can cause poor fuel economy, erratic throttle response, and possible limp mode. Replacing it with a compatible TPS restores normal engine management and rideability.
Q: Can this TPS work on other Polaris models besides the Switchback? A: The SM-01280 and 3131591 TPS may fit other Polaris models that use the same throttle body connector and mounting pattern, but confirming fitment against your specific model and serial number is recommended.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
