Accelerator pedal module (Audi A6)
No separate switch is used to provide kick-
down information. In the case of automatic-
gearbox vehicles, the accelerator pedal stop
is replaced by a pressure element. The
pressure element generates a "mechanical
pressure point" which gives the driver the
"kickdown feeling".

If the accelerator pedal module or the
engine control unit is changed, the
switching point of the kickdown
switch must be reprogrammed using
the diagnostic tester – see the repair
manual.

Driver torque range
If the driver activates the kickdown, the full-
throttle voltage of the accelerator pedal
position senders is exceeded. If a voltage
defined in the engine control unit is reached,
this is interpreted as a kickdown and the
information is sent to the automatic gearbox
via the CAN bus. The kickdown switching
point can only be tested using diagnostic
testers.
