BMW Electronic Throttle Pedal

General Information

The pedal module has two independently working sensors (potentiometer or hall effect) for redundancy and plausibility checks. Sensor 2 outputs exactly half the voltage of Sensor 1.

In the original design the DME (Digital Motor Electronics) provides an independent, precision +5V sources for each of the two sensors. It should be noted here that the +5V supply voltage should be precise and stable to assure no erroneous readings from the Inverter Controller.

Pinout and Nominal Voltages

The Accelerator Pedal Module for manual and automatic gearbox do not differ in their pinout or electrical connector used. The nominal voltage values are the same for all pedal versions.

Nominal Voltage Range

Position	Voltage Sensor 1	Voltage Sensor 2
Idle	0.70-0.80V	0.31-0.43V
Full Load	3.65-4.10V	1.83-2.04V
Resistance Point Kickdown	4.27-4.33V	2.14-2.16V
Mechanical Stop	<4.76V	<2.38V
