MC897653
Accelerator Sensor Accelerator Switch
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Accelerator Sensor, also known as the Accelerator Switch and identified by Part Number MC897653, is a crucial component in a truck's throttle system. Its primary function is to detect the position of the accelerator pedal and send this information to the engine control module, which then adjusts the engine's output accordingly. The sensor works by converting the mechanical movement of the pedal into an electrical signal that can be read by the ECU. A malfunctioning Accelerator Sensor can result in poor performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and even dangerous driving conditions. Therefore, it is important to regularly maintain and replace this component as needed.
