The accelerator pedal position sensor is a potentiometer type sensor attached to the accelerator pedal assembly. The accelerator position sensor varies the signal voltage to the ECM as the accelerator pedal is depressed and released. Low signal voltage is received by the ECM when the accelerator pedal is at 0%. A high signal voltage is received by the ECM when the accelerator pedal is at 100%. The accelerator pedal position circuit contains an accelerator pedal position 5V supply, accelerator pedal return, and accelerator pedal position signal.

The accelerator pedal position sensor contains two sensors. These sensors are used to measure the throttle position. Both position sensors receive a 5V supply from the ECM. A corresponding signal voltage based on the position of the accelerator pedal is then received from the ECM. The signal voltage for accelerator position 1 is twice as much as the signal voltage from the accelerator position 2.
