DescriptionNJEC0679The accelerator work unit is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal assembly. The accelerator
position sensor and accelerator position switch are built into the accelerator work unit. The sensor detects the
accelerator position and sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM uses the signal to determine the amount of fuel
to be injected.
The accelerator position switch detects Off-accelerator switch signal and send these signals to the ECM. The
ECM will then determine engine idle conditions. These signals are also used for diagnosing the accelerator
position sensor.

MONITOR ITEM CONDITION SPECIFICATION
ACCEL POS SEN+Ignition switch: ON
(Engine stopped)Accelerator pedal: released 0.30 - 0.50V
Accelerator pedal: depressed 3.0 - 4.3V
OFF ACCEL SW+Ignition switch: ON
(Engine stopped)Accelerator pedal: fully released ON
Accelerator pedal: slightly open OFF
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNJEC0681Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
