The potentiometer provides the control unit with information about accelerator position. The accelerator position sensor (APS) has an integrated poten­ tiometer and two microswitches for throttle activation (idle safety switch) and full throttle (kick down switch).

The idle safety switch tells the control unit whether the accelerator is released or activated. This is primarily a safety feature to check that the potentiometer is working as it should. SHOP MANUAL MT26-31 - 06.2005
