 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Sensor Circuit
|
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor is attached to the accelerator pedal or lever. The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor sends a signal to the electronic control module (ECM) when the accelerator pedal or lever is depressed and released. The accelerator pedal or lever position circuit contains three wires: Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Supply, Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Return, and Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Signal.
Component Location
The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor is mounted to the accelerator pedal or lever assembly. Refer to the OEM manual.

If troubleshooting an intermittent accelerator problem:
The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor signal voltage can be monitored with the INSITE™ electronic service tool, while flexing the harness to locate the intermittent connection. Intermittent connections will show up as abrupt changes in signal voltage displayed by INSITE™ electronic service tool.
Possible causes of this fault include:
- Accelerator pedal or lever position signal shorted to engine ground or return wires in the OEM harness or sensor.
- Failed accelerator pedal or lever position sensor.
- Open circuit in the accelerator signal, supply, or return wire in the harness or connectors.
NOTE: The three wires in the accelerator position sensor circuit must be twisted together.
