In order to improve the response speed and accuracy of automotive electronic throttle valve opening control，a Non-singular Fast Terminal Sliding Mode (NFTSM) control strategy was designed.Firstly，the non-linear mathematical model was obtained by analyzing the nonlinear and disturbance of the electronic throttle valve control system.Secondly，a NFTSM surface and a terminal attractor were constructed by using the error between electronic throttle opening and the desired opening and the derivative of the error，at the same time，an extended state observer was applied to estimate the first order derivative of the opening degree.Meanwhile，a NFTSM controller with no singular control and fast convergence was designed，which verified the stability of the controller by using Lyapunov's stableness theory.A number of simulations were conducted to test and verify the performances of the NFTSM control method and conventional sliding mode control method in MATLAB/simulink by using sine signal，step signal，triangle wave signal and approximate stair-step signal as the input signals respectively.The simulation results show that the NFTSM control method has shorter settling time and smaller tracking error compared with the conventional sliding mode control method.NFTSM controller can keep the electronic throttle opening consistent with reference signals in 0.1 s and has steady-state error less than 0.2°，while the conventional sliding mode controller needs more than 1 s and has large tracking error.In addition，the simulation results of the system under the impulsive disturbance signal show that the NFTSM controller has excellent robustness.
