Hazard

The accelerator opening degree sensor mounted on the accelerator pedal may have insufficient fastening torque on its mounting bolts. Continued use in this condition risks sensor detachment, which in the worst case could result in engine RPM failing to increase even when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
