WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Journey and 2015 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is a variable resistor that provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage). The signal represents throttle blade position. As the position of the accelerator pedal changes, the resistance of the APPS changes. For service procedures, refer to the accelerator pedal removal and installation procedures. Refer to PEDAL, ACCELERATOR, REMOVAL .
