Signal Functions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor provides the powertrain control module (PCM) with the driver's demand for power. The PCM determines the APP by processing input signals from the APP sensor.

The APP signal is used in calculating desired fuel quantity, injection timing and injection control pressure.
