The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensors are located in the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module assembly. The TAC module assembly is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket. There are 3 individual APP sensors in the TAC module. Three separate signal circuits, low reference circuits, and 5-volt reference circuits are used to determine the accelerator pedal position. The APP sensor signal voltages increase as the accelerator pedal is depressed.
