Structure and inner electrical connection
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The accelerator-pedal module functions with induction. The two sensors receive separate 5-volt power supplies from the engine-management control unit, to which they also have separate earth connections. The electronic processing circuitry generates analogue voltage signals, reflecting the accelerator pedal's position, for use by the engine-management control unit. The sensor signals are transmitted to the engine-management control unit separately.
