What is the Throttle/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor all about?

On older vehicle designs, a simple throttle cable connects the accelerator pedal to the engine and controls the amount of fuel delivered to the engine. However, with fuel injected systems, that has changed. Newer engines now use electronics to control the amount of fuel sent to the engine based on accelerator pedal movement. This is the job of the accelerator pedal position sensor. It’s mounted to the gas pedal, and essentially translates the movement of the pedal (speed and position) into voltage, which tells the car’s computer how much fuel to supply for engine acceleration.

Keep in mind:

It’s impossible to check the operation of the accelerator pedal position sensor visually as it requires a voltmeter and an understanding of the proper voltage output range.
It’s possible for an accelerator pedal position sensor to operate intermittently.
A discrepancy in voltage will put the computer into “limp” mode, which provides significantly reduced power to prevent damage.

How it's done:

The throttle pedal position sensor is verified that it needs to be replaced. The throttle trim cover is then removed to access the sensor .
The defective throttle pedal position sensor is disconnected and removed.
The new throttle pedal position sensor is installed onto the firewall and reconnected.
The engine is started and the throttle pedal position sensor is tested for operation. The trim panel is then reinstalled.
The vehicle is road tested to ensure proper operation of the throttle pedal position sensor.

Our recommendation:

There is no set service or replacement period for your accelerator pedal position sensor. If you suspect a problem with your accelerator pedal position sensor, have one of our expert mechanics diagnose the system.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Throttle/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor?

Lagging or intermittent acceleration
No acceleration
Limited power (limp mode)
No throttle response in Park or Neutral

How important is this service?

Because the accelerator pedal position sensor tells the car’s computer how quickly you’re depressing the accelerator pedal and controls the supply of fuel to the engine, replacement is very important. While your car will continue to operate even if there is a problem with the sensor, it will do so with limited capacity. Our experienced mechanics will use a voltmeter to determine sensor operation and diagnose the problem accurately. Have a faulty accelerator pedal position sensor replaced immediately.

Dodge Charger V6-3.5L - Oil Change - Orlando, Florida

This is the 4th time I've hired James to perform work on my 2008 Dodge Charger. He is professional and always goes the extra mile. He is very personable and takes time to explain exactly what is going on with your vehicle and what kind of work he will be performing. Most recently, James changed my oil and filter. He arrived with the proper oil and oil filter that would typically be used for my vehicle. However, my oil pan was recently replaced by the Dodge dealership. They did not tell me this, but apparently the pan they used is different from the original and as such, requires a different oil filter. James had no problem figuring out what oil filter the vehicle now requires, and took the time to drive to the auto parts store to purchase the correct one, at no extra cost to me. I highly recommend him for any service your vehicle may need.
