ABSTRACT:
A conventional electronic foot accelerator pedal of an electronic engine control module is fitted with a link one end of which engages the roller of the potentiometer arm on the pedal and the other end of which is disposed for releasable engagement with the plunger of an electric switch which is connected in an electric circuit of the electrically actuated engine brake or other electrically actuated device. As the pedal is pivoted to accelerate the engine, the link disengages from the electric switch plunger and opens the switch to deactivate the electrically actuated device. When the pedal is returned to the engine idle position, the link engages the switch plunger and closes the switch to activate the electrically actuated device.
