6.0 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensors
The accelerator pedal position sensor converts the mechanical accelerator pedal position into an electrical signal for the ECM. Caterpillar requires one of the sensors described in this document for use with an accelerator pedal.
The accelerator pedal position sensor and ECM are designed to comply with FMVSS124 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 124). The sensor also meets the SAE J1843 Recommended Practice. 176-1602, 176-1604, and the 176-1605 sensors mount directly to the accelerator pedal. This eliminates the need for accelerator pedal linkages and OEM adjustments. These sensors are designed to operate from the ECM + 8V supply. The 176-1602 (32 inch [81 cm] harness with Deutsch connector), 176-1604 (6 inch [15 cm] harness with Deutsch connector), and the 176-1605 (6 inch [15 cm] harness with Packard connector) use the same sensor but have different connectors or pigtail lengths as described.
