Les can tell you which ones report this parameter. The usual suspects:

Car Gauge Pro
Car Diagnostic Pro
Torque Pro
Dash Command

There is also a comprehensive hardware solution if you are willing to cough up $150: Vident ilink 400. Above that are the stupid expensive scanners (ask me how I know) like Tech 2, Snap On, etc.

I’m going to double check the autel one more time, then will start looking into new scanners. Maybe I missed it In the 14 times I’ve looked thru it. Will update later tonight

Any scanner that does live data should read TPS. Bet the Autel does that one - just need to find it. Throttle angle?

What model Autel do you have? Also, sometimes when a PID doesn't seem to be available when you enter your VIN or model specific into the scanner you can find it by selecting instead "Generic OBD" and looking at the Mode $6 data.

I’ll have to look in the morning, but I think I remember seeing a throttle angle one. Will double check tomorrow.
