 Accelerator Position Sensor Circuit
|
Circuit Description
The accelerator position sensor is attached to the accelerator pedal. The accelerator position sensor sends a signal to the electronic control module (ECM) when the driver pushes on the accelerator pedal. The accelerator position circuit contains three wires: (+) 5-VDC supply, return ground, and signal.
Component Location
The accelerator position sensor is located on the accelerator pedal.

If all wiring and sensor checks look good, then replace the accelerator position sensor and the idle validation switch circuit wires between the accelerator pedal and the ECM with new wires. Run the wires through or around the bulkhead, without using the bulkhead connector. Test the truck with the test wires in place. If the fault goes away, replace the OEM harness. Seal the openings in the bulkhead around the connector and wires to prevent toxic and noxious fumes from entering the operator area.
The three wires in the accelerator position sensor circuit
must be twisted together. The same applies for the three wires in the idle validation switch circuit.
