ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR [SKYACTIV-G 2.5]

Purpose/Function

• Detects the accelerator pedal depression amount as basic information for mainly determining the throttle valve opening.

• Detects the accelerator pedal depression amount and sends it to the PCM as an accelerator pedal opening angle signal.

Construction

• Built into the accelerator pedal.

  

• A Hall element has been adopted as the detecting element for detecting the accelerator pedal depression amount.

• The APP sensor has a main sensor (No.1) and a sub sensor (No.2) for improved detection accuracy.

Operation

• Sends the signal, which fluctuates according to the throttle valve opening/closing, to the PCM.
