ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

BHE014041600T02

• The sensor is installed on the AP and detects how much the AP is depressed.

• The Hall element design has been adopted on the sensor.

• A non contact type sensor has been adopted to improve durability.

• The APP sensor is composed of the main sensor and sub sensor, and detects the accelerator opening angle with these two sensors (main and sub).

• Even if a malfunction occurs in either one of the sensors, the detection is performed with a normal sensor drive-by-wire control is maintained.

• If both the MAIN and SUB sensors for the APP sensor malfunction, signals necessary for the drive-by-wire control are not input to the PCM and the drive-by-wire control is disabled.

• However, even though the drive-by-wire control is disabled, the throttle valve opening angle necessary for minimum driving is maintained mechanically.
