Accelerator pedal potentiometer
The sensor is made up of a frame secured to the accelerator pedal, which houses a shaft
placed in an axial position and connected with the two potentiometers (main potentiometer
and safety potentiometer).
A helical spring fitted onto the shaft ensures proper compressive strength, whereas one further
spring ensures the return when releasing.
Redundant signal reading makes it possible to continuously monitor the plausibility of
measured values, so as to ensure full driving safety even in case of failure.

The accelerator pedal position is converted into an electric voltage signal and sent to the
injection control unit from the potentiometer connected with its respective pedal.
The accelerator pedal position signal is processed together with the revs number data, to
obtain the injection time and pressure.
