What does APS in the car mean?

[DeAxel]

APS in the car stands for Accelerator Pedal Sensor. Here is the related introduction about the accelerator pedal: 1. Function: The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle pedal, primarily controls the opening of the engine throttle, thereby regulating the engine's power output. Traditional accelerator pedals are connected to the throttle via a throttle cable or linkage. 2. Working Principle: Electronic throttle accelerator pedals are equipped with displacement sensors. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal, the ECU collects the opening changes and acceleration from the displacement sensor on the pedal. Based on preset algorithms, it determines the driver's intent and then sends corresponding control signals to the engine throttle control motor, thereby adjusting the engine's power output.
