Description and operation
• |
Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) is installed on the accelerator pedal
module and detects the rotation angle of the accelerator pedal.
|
• |
The APS is one of the most important sensors in engine control system,
so it consists of the two sensors which adapt individual sensor power and
ground line.
|
• |
The second sensor monitors the first sensor and its output voltage is
half of the first one.
|
• |
If the ratio of the sensor 1 and 2 is out of the range (approximately
1/2), the diagnostic system judges that it is abnormal.

Repair procedures
1. |
The engine control system can be more quickly diagnosed for troubles
by using the vehicle diagnostic system (KDS). (Refer to "DTC guide")
KDS provides the following information.
(1) |
Self diagnosis : Inspects and displays diagnostic trouble code
(DTC)
|
(2) |
Sensor data : Checks the system input/output value status
|
(3) |
Forced operation : Checks the system operating status
|
(4) |
Additional function : Controls system options, zero point adjustment
and other functions
|
|
1. |
Connect the KDS on the Data Link Connector (DLC).
|
2. |
Turn the ignition switch ON.
|
3. |
Measure the output voltage of the APS 1 and 2 at C.T and W.O.T.

2. |
Open the mounting cap (A).

|
3. |
Remove the accelerator pedal module (A) after loosening the mounting
bolts.
Tightening torque :
6.9 - 10.7 N·m (0.7 - 1.1 kgf·m, 5.0 - 7.9 lb·ft)
|

|
4. |
Remove the connector (A) from the accelerator pedal module (B).

|
• |
Install the component to the specified torque.
|
• |
Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped.
In this case, use it after inspecting.
|
|
1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal.
