BC Drivers: Learn About Pedals Inside Ford Vehicles

No matter what type of Ford vehicle you own, it will come with at least two pedals. Models with manual transmissions will have an added clutch that serves as a third, but automatics only include the accelerator and brake units.

Higher trim levels may also have upgraded pedals that can be re-positioned to suit your height and comfort level. These are known as power-adjustable pedals. They can be moved toward or away from you. The control is usually located in the central dash area. It is generally a button that you press up or down to rearrange the components beneath your feet.

These also come with sensors known as APS. If this aspect is faulty, it can cause the malfunction indicator light (MIL) to come on. Signs to look for to determine if the sensor is going bad include slow acceleration and having trouble picking up speed. It may come as a surprise, but these are fairly easy to replace. You can do it yourself or bring your vehicle to a professional mechanic for faster service.
