The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly. The sensors detect the Accelerator Pedal Position and transmits a signal to the ECM. The ECM uses the signal to determine the amount of fuel to be injected.

NOTE:

When one of the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensors has a malfunction, ECM uses a signal from another Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor.

In this case, ECM controls as follows.

Limits throttle valve angle to approximately 60% or less
Delays the throttle valve opening speed
Fixes engine speed at an idling standard value when the brake pedal is depressed
Fixes idle speed
