MS 43 NEW FUNCTIONS
ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR
PWG SIGNAL MONITORING & PWG FAILSAFE OPERATION:
• As a redundant safety feature the PWG provides two separate signals from two integral
angle hall sensors (HS #1 and HS #2) representing the driver’s request for throttle acti-
vation.
• If the monitored PWG signals are not plausible, MS 43.0 will only use the lower of the
two signals as the driver’s pedal request input providing failsafe operation. Throttle
response will be slower and maximum throttle position will be reduced.
• When in PWG failsafe operation, MS 43.0 sets the EDK throttle plate and injection time
to idle (LL) whenever the brake pedal is depressed.
• When the system is in PWG failsafe operation, the instrument cluster matrix display will
post “Engine Emergency Program” and PWG specific fault(s) will be stored in memory.

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control is integrated into the ECM because of the EDK operation.
Cruise control functions are activated directly by the multifunction steering wheel to the
ECM. The individual buttons are digitally encoded in the MFL switch and is input to the ECM
over a serial data wire.
The ECM controls vehicle speed by activation of the Electronic Throttle Valve (EDK)
The clutch switch disengages cruise control to prevent over-rev during gear changes.
The brake light switch and the brake light test switch are input to the ECM to disengage
cruise control as well as fault recognition during engine operation of the EDK.
Road speed is input to the ECM for cruise control as well as DSC regulation. The vehicle
speed signal for normal engine operation is supplied from the DSC module (right rear wheel
speed sensor). The road speed signal for cruise control is supplied from the DSC module.
This is an average taken from both front wheel speed sensors, supplied via the CAN bus.
