WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 2002 Toyota Tundra, 2002 Toyota Tacoma, 2002 Toyota Sienna, 2002 Toyota Sequoia, and 2002 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Accelerator pedal position sensor converts accelerator pedal angle into an electrical signal and delivers output signal to Hybrid Vehicle (HV) control Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Hybrid vehicle control ECU is referred to as HV ECU. The HV ECU communicates with the ECM for controlling the Electronic Throttle Control System (ETCS) for throttle operation. See ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM under AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS for additional information.
