Adjustable Pedal System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The adjustable pedal motor is attached to the brake pedal bracket and directly controls the accelerator pedal through the use of a pinion and worm gear set. The other end of the motor is attached to a cable inside a sleeve, which is connected to another worm gear set on the brake pedal for the adjustment of the brake pedal. When the motor rotates, the worm gear set on the accelerator pedal and the worm gear set on the brake pedal both rotate simultaneously. The motor direction of rotation determines the direction of pedal movement, forward or rearward.

The pedals can be adjusted with the ignition switch in the OFF, ON, ACC or RUN position, regardless of the gear selector position.

The SCCM monitors the adjustable pedal motor and circuits for concerns. If a concern is detected, the SCCM is capable of setting DTCs .
