Adjustable Pedals

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford Pickup Heritage, 2004 Ford Pickup, 2003 Lincoln Blackwood, 2003 Ford Pickup, and 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Adjustable Pedals System (APS), if equipped, allows the driver to adjust the brake and accelerator pedals for a more comfortable driving position. The APS consists of an adjustable pedal assembly, adjustable pedals switch, adjustable pedals motor, brake pedal-to-accelerator pedal cable, Driver Seat Module (DSM), and associated wiring. From the adjustable pedals switch, located on the instrument panel, the driver can adjust the brake and accelerator pedals forward or rearward. See Fig 1. The adjustable pedals with memory feature are operational with the ignition switch ON or OFF.

The adjustable pedals with memory feature are operational with the ignition switch ON or OFF. The pedals can be adjusted forward or rearward using the adjustable pedal switch mounted on the left side of the instrument panel.

The Driver Seat Module (DSM) controls the adjustable pedals. The DSM constantly monitors the systems under its control and reports a concern in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). A DTC can be retrieved with the Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) Tester or equivalent through the communications link.

The adjustable pedals with memory feature can be controlled by using the memory switches or the remote keyless entry transmitter. The outside rearview mirror and power driver seat positions are also stored and recalled with the power adjustable pedal positions. The system can store three memory settings. For programming, testing and repair, see appropriate ADJUSTABLE PEDALS SYSTEMS article in MEMORY MODULES in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
