| Brief description |
The accelerator is connected with a cable to an accelerator position sensor. The sensor sends electrical signals regarding accelerator position to the EDC 15 control module.
The accelerator position sensor function is to convert the driver's request from an accelerator position to an instruction that the engine management system control module can understand and process.
Inside the accelerator position sensor there is a potentiometer which varies the voltage on the control module sensor inputs depending on the angle of the accelerator position sensor shaft. The accelerator position sensor consists of a resistance coil and carbon brushes. The brushes are fitted on the throttle position shaft and move across the resistance coil in relation to the shaft movement.
When the position sensor angle is less than approximately 9°, the idle switch is open. The idle switch closes when the position sensor angle is greater than approximately 9°.
