ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL GROUP
Pedal Group
5
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR
The pedal group for the Precedent electric vehicle includes a throttle position sensor mounted on the side of the
accelerator pedal assembly. The throttle position sensor detects the position of the accelerator pedal and sends a
corresponding voltage to the motor controller. The throttle position sensor itself is not intended to be replaced. If sensor
is determined to need replacing through test procedures found in this manual, the accelerator pedal assembly must be
replaced.
See Accelerator Pedal Removal on page 5-3.
DEBRIS SHIELDS
Debris shields on the top face of the pedal group prevent excessive debris from contacting the moving parts of
the pedal group. Both shields (4 and 5) are held in place by tabs that snap into the pedal group mounting plate
(Figure 5-3, Page 5-4)
