Ford Escape: Acceleration Control / Description and Operation - Acceleration Control - Overview
The acceleration controls consist of the accelerator pedal, APP sensor and bracket assembly.
The
engine management system electronically operates the throttle of the

In the event of a system failure, the engine management system provides a
"limp home" mode which allows the vehicle to be driven with limited
performance.
