1331008-001 | Genuine Autocar® Accelerator Pedal With Sensor

1. Control Engine Power

• The sensor tells the Engine Control Module (ECM) how much the driver wants to accelerate.

• The ECM then adjusts fuel and air to increase or decrease engine power.

2. Enable Electronic Throttle Control

• In modern vehicles with Drive-by-Wire Throttle System, there is no mechanical cable.

• The pedal sensor sends signals electronically to control the Electronic Throttle Body.

3. Improve Fuel Efficiency

• The computer can precisely control how much fuel the engine uses, helping reduce fuel consumption.

4. Reduce Emissions

• Accurate throttle control allows cleaner fuel combustion, lowering harmful exhaust gases.

5. Work With Safety Systems

• The sensor allows systems like cruise control, traction control, and stability control to manage engine power automatically.

1. Delayed Acceleration

• When you press the gas pedal, the vehicle may hesitate or respond slowly.

2. Loss of Power

• The engine may suddenly lose power while driving.

3. Inconsistent Acceleration

• The vehicle may speed up or slow down unexpectedly, even if you keep the pedal steady.

4. Vehicle Goes Into Limp Mode

• The car may limit speed and power to protect the engine.

5. Check Engine Light

• The check engine light may turn on because the ECM detects incorrect signals.

6. Engine Won’t Rev Properly

• Pressing the pedal might not increase engine RPM normally.

7. Difficulty Maintaining Speed

• The car may struggle to keep a steady speed when driving.
