Accelerator Pedal Position (APP)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal. The APP detects the position of the accelerator pedal and inputs this information as a voltage to the PCM. The PCM uses APP sensor information to aid in determining line pressure, shift scheduling and TCC operation. Failure of this sensor will cause the transmission to operate at higher line pressure to avoid damage to the transmission. This higher line pressure causes harsh upshifts and harsh engagements.
