I get an occansional dead pedal when my comp is on and I hear that I need to reset the APPS. Could any one tell what APPS stands for and also how to reset it. Thanks

Accelerator Peddle Position Sensor, or something like that. Also referred to as TPS, Throttle Position Sensor.



Disconnect negative battery cables for a couple of hours. Hook them back up, turn the ignition key to run... don't start... , depress the throttle very slowly to the floor and back three times (some say only once ?) Start and drive truck.



Please create your truck profile. I assume you have a 2nd gen truck?

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: used on ISB diesel for electronic throttle control(A. P. P. S. ) As far as resetting, you might try doing a search for "resetting apps" and get the info from the pros. I'm not sure of the sequence and wouldn't want to give you the wrong info.
