Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Circuit Description
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) module contains three potentiometers (a device for measuring an unknown voltage or potential difference by
comparison to a standard voltage). Each of the APP sensors send a varying voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). By monitoring the output
voltage from the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) module, the PCM can determine fuel delivery based on the accelerator pedal position (driver
demand).
