NTK AD0491 Accelerator Pedal Sensor

Accelerator Pedal Sensor Overview

NTK Accelerator Pedal Sensor AD0491 is a technical sensor built for Ford van applications that use electronic throttle input monitoring. It is engineered to deliver OE-level signal accuracy and consistent pedal position feedback for the vehicle control system.

Compatible With Ford E-150, Ford E-250, Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford E-450 Super Duty, Ford E-150 Club Wagon, and Ford E-350 Club Wagon applications listed below.

Key Features

• Blade terminals with a rectangular female connector for direct electrical interface.
• Seven-terminal design for the specified application.
• Mounting bracket included for a secure installation point.
• Built to meet or exceed OE specifications.
• Backed by NTK’s technical sensor expertise and OE application experience.

Detailed Description

NTK AD0491 is part of the NTK Accelerator Pedal Sensor line, developed under the same brand family known for ignition and oxygen sensor coverage. As a body sensor, it translates accelerator pedal movement into an electrical signal used by the vehicle’s throttle control strategy. For Ford E-Series and Club Wagon applications, this sensor supports accurate pedal input reporting and stable system response. This part cross-references Standard Ignition APS115 for the same application.

NTK’s technical sensor program is supported by extensive OE experience and testing that includes thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification. That engineering focus makes AD0491 a practical choice when replacing a worn accelerator pedal sensor on Ford E-150, E-250, or E-350 Super Duty platforms.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring inconsistent accelerator pedal signal output.
• Addressing throttle response issues caused by sensor wear.
• Replacing a damaged connector interface or terminal connection.
• Correcting electronic pedal input faults in the control system.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting bracket style before installation. This sensor uses a rectangular female connector with blade terminals, so the electrical interface must match the original configuration. Confirm the vehicle application against the fitment list for the exact Ford E-Series or Club Wagon model year.

Quality Assurance

NTK states that its technical sensors are tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions and are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications. AD0491 reflects NTK’s OE-focused sensor development for import and domestic vehicles.
