Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor




COMPONENT PARTS

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor






The accelerator pedal sensor is integrated with the accelerator pedal. This sensor is a potentiometer that detects the acceleration pedal stroke, converts it to a voltage signal, and transmits the signal to VCM. The sensor transmits its signals through dual lines, providing a minimum driving function even if either line malfunctions.
Upon a POWER ON cycle, VCM learns the fully closed position of the acceleration pedal from the accelerator pedal position sensor signal.
