Hyundai Santa Fe: Engine Control System / Accelerator Position Sensor (APS). Description and operation
On electronic injection systems, there is no longer a load lever that mechanically
controls the fuelling. The flow is caculated by the ECM depending on a number
of parameters, including pedal position, which is measured using a potentiometer.
The pedal sensor has two potentio-meters whoses slides are mechanically solid.
The two potentiometers are supplied from distinct and different power sources
so there is built in redundancy of information giving reliable driver's request
information. A voltage is generated across the potentiometer in the acceleration
position sensor as a function of the accelerator-pedal setting. Using a peogrammed
characteristic curve, the pedal's position is then calculated from this voltage.

Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes that adjust automatically through normal
usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist
for the brakes will not work. You can still stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical...
