Accelerator Pedal Module The accelerator pedal module converts the driver’s accelerator pedal effort to an electric signal, and sends the signal to the engine ECU, which controls engine power and acceleration. DENSO’s small, long-lasting accelerator pedal module feels the same to drivers as a conventional mechanical accelerator pedal.

DENSO Technology – Leading the World

• In 2002, DENSO introduced the world’s first accelerator pedal module that integrated DENSO’s non-contact revolution sensor with a pedal part, achieving long life and small size. The accelerator pedal module, including the pedal part is made of resin, resulting in light weight.

Benefits and Features

• Long life and high reliability
  • The non-contact revolution sensor lasts longer than contact type sensors.
  • The non-contact revolution sensor has two hall ICs which detect the pedal revolution, and one of the hall ICs works as a safety sensor, providing high reliability.
• Small size and light weight
  • Integrating the non-contact sensor with the pedal part and making the accelerator pedal module of resin result in small size and light weight.
• Excellent drivability
  • DENSO’s accelerator pedal module has specific hysteretic pedal force characteristics (see the graph below), providing the same feeling as mechanical accelerator pedals.
• High flexibility
  • The electric output characteristics of the sensor can be set in accordance with customer’s specifications.
  • DENSO provides two types of accelerator pedal modules – resin rod type and iron rod type – to meet customer’s needs.
