Risk
These products pose a risk of injuries due to :- water (from rain or washing) entering the wiring from the right-hand side of the motor’s stop button, which accumulates inside the plastic cladding. The accumulated water can leak into the wires and seep into the accelerator’s position sensor. In cold climates, the water in the accelerator’s position sensor can freeze, thereby preventing the motor from decelerating after the accelerator has been released. - corrosion and the resulting increase in resistance between the resistor and the terminal of the accelerator’s position sensor may cause the ECU to detect a fault in the accelerator’s position sensor. This may cause the indicator lights to activate or to fail to change in certain models.
