Hella 014610001 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

The Hella 014610001 is a replacement accelerator pedal position sensor (APS) engineered to restore precise throttle control in electronic throttle control (ETC) equipped vehicles. In modern vehicles, the accelerator pedal no longer acts mechanically via a cable or linkage — instead, a sensor measures the position of the pedal and transmits this data to the control unit for setting the throttle elements on petrol engines or to the injection system on diesel engines.

How It Works:

The accelerator pedal sensor transmits the position of the accelerator pedal to the engine control unit, and based on this information, the load requested by the driver can be implemented immediately. APS systems can be used in conventional vehicles as well as hybrid and electric vehicles.

Key Features:

• Utilizes Hella's highly accurate and robust Contactless Inductive Position Sensor (CIPOS®) technology or traditional potentiometer technology
• Designed so the pedal, generation of pedal force, and sensor are integrated within one modular concept
• High signal resolution detects even subtle changes in pedal position, allowing fine-grained control over throttle response and precise input to the vehicle's engine management system
• Helps prevent wear on the clutch and drivetrain and reduces CO₂ emissions
• Designed to meet or exceed factory standards; available for pendant and floor mounting
• Backed by Hella's one-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Hella holds a market-leading position in the field of accelerator pedal sensors with many years of application experience in automotive original equipment. The Hella 014610001 is a direct-fit replacement sensor designed for a confident, accurate restoration of electronic throttle system performance.
