The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal control assembly. Two APP sensors, APP sensors 1 and 2 are used to monitor the accelerator pedal position. Each sensor has the following circuits:
- A 5 V reference circuit
- A low reference circuit
- A signal circuit
The engine control module (ECM) uses the APP sensors input to determine the amount of acceleration or deceleration that is desired.
