P1283 CADILLAC Meaning
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 when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
