Diagnostic Procedure (Cont'd)
EC-684

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.

DescriptionNJEC0686The crankshaft position sensor (TDC) monitors engine speed by
means of signals from the sensing plate (with three protrusions)
installed to the crankshaft pulley. The datum signal output is
detected at ATDC 10É and sent to the ECM. The sensor signal is
used for fuel injection control and fuel injection timing control.
