•  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 position signal.

•  For the accelerator pedal position signal, main (No.1) and sub (No.2) signals of different characteristics have been adopted to enhance detection accuracy.

•  The APP sensor is built into the accelerator pedal.

•  An electromagnetic induction action applied to a non-contact type has been adopted to the detection area of the APP sensor.

•  When current flows to the energizing coil from the IC, the receiving coil generates voltage which causes electromagnetic induction between the energizing coil, the rotor coil and the receiving coil.

•  When the rotor coil positional relationship changes, the generated voltage changes.

•  The APP sensor sends the detected accelerator pedal depression amount to the PCM as accelerator pedal position main (No.1) and sub (No.2) signals.
