Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The accelerator pedal contains 2 individual APP sensors within the assembly. The APP sensors 1 and 2 are potentiometer type sensors each with 3 circuits:
- A 5-volt reference circuit
- A low reference circuit
- A signal circuit
The APP sensors are used to determine the pedal angle. The ECM provides each APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors provide the ECM with signal voltage proportional to the pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is also near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated.
