Williams Controls Accelerator Pedal Sensor

The Williams Controls Accelerator Pedal Sensor provides a clean signal to the engine control unit, interpreting foot input into accurate throttle response. Used in heavy-duty trucks powered by Cummins and Mercedes North American engines, this pedal sensor avoids the lag or irregular feedback that cheaper sensors can produce. What’s more, the Williams Controls WIL 131973 simplifies the chain between driver input and ECU response without complication or adjustment.
