Mechanic replaced 1 of 2 TBS in my Accord, but it turned out, he replaced the good one, and not the bad one!

The question is, are the 2 TBSs interchangeable? Could he have installed the good TBS he removed, to replace the bad TBS?

Thank you!

I am not sure what your mechanic is telling you but there is only one electrical connector for the throttle body. Please check the images below.

Thank your, for your reply!
I was told that there are '2' TBSs in my car. Maybe I misunderstood, but pretty sure he said, there were 2 separate TBSs. I would have thought only 1. He showed me the new one he put on, that is on the right-hand side of engine, and believe he pointed to the left side, where the bad one is. I can take a photo of the area, if you like.

Is there a TB, and a TBS, or are they, one in the same?

Hi again, Ken!
Here's a screenshot of a video I just watched, looks to me, that there is just 1 TBS, as you say, and it is located on upper left corner of engine.

A "TB" is throttle body, a TSB is a "technical service bulletin", a don't see the video or screen shot?

Thanks Ken!
I will try again to attach a photo of 'under the hood.'
I think my mechanic may be misinforming me, saying there are '2' TB Sensors. Online, it says only 1, located at far Left upper corner of engine area (see Screenshot).

The sensor in the photos is not on the throttle body?

Oh dear, I give up! This is where the online mechanic video shows the TBS is. My understanding, is that the Sensor is inside the TB. Is this incorrect?
