1.1 Introduction
The Pedal Interface II is available in three different versions with two different Interface hardware
specifications.
¾ 3 analogue channel (type 1)
¾ 2 analogue channel with idle validation and kick down switch (type 2)
The VDO Pedal Interface II consists of an electronic controller which is mounted between the
accelerator pedal unit and the engine control unit (ECU). The output signal of the accelerator pedal is
modified to control the road and engine speed. Therefore a modification in the electronics or software
of the standard engine control systems can be avoided.
The VDO Pedal Interface II should only be installed to vehicles which have been approved and tested
by Continental Trading.
1.2 Versions
*V = Road Speed
Control function; the Fault Throttle Limit is programmable from 0%-100% and the fault time from 0 to
60 seconds. The fault throttle limit activates with a breakdown of v-signal while the accelerator pedal
position lies above the programmable fault throttle limit for longer then the adjustable fault time. The
timer can only be reset with the return of the speed signal. Once in the fault throttle mode a 100%
throttle can only be achieved by turning the ignition off for a minimum of 10 seconds.
This input can also be used as a road speed input for vehicles with low voltage road speed signals.
With the cruise control stalk, hand set (two wire data cable) or external switches (cruise control stalk
inputs) a variable engine speed control can be realised. Using the engine control options the variable
engine speed can be switched on or off and modified within the programmed range.
The conditions for switching on and off the engine speed control can be programmed dependently of
the minimum and maximum engine speed parameters using the status inputs. For the disengaging of
engine speed control the status input 3 (marked with disengage PTO wire no. 29, Input 11) is
automatically assigned.
Because of safety reasons when using the cruise control stalk (LED or Flexible) for this function; there
are two inputs which have to be used for PTO disengage. In addition to Status – Input 3, Status - Input
4 (wire no. 28, Input 10) has to be connected.
Note:
The conditions required to enable the rpm control functionality has to be agreed with the vehicle or
body manufacturer. Any installation involving engine speed control has to be wired taking into account
any safety critical functions. It is important that the rpm control cannot be activated while the vehicle is
in gear or being driven.

The vehicle accelerator pedal is displayed on the left side; the engine control unit and the fuel injection
are part of the existing vehicle system. The Pedal Interface II with all inputs and outputs, displayed at
the right side, are installed additionally into the vehicle and connected via the pre-manufactured wiring
harness.
The pedal units or pedal sensors can vary from one vehicle to the next.
The VDO Pedal Interface II can be used with analogue signal pedal units. There are two different
types available Type 1 and Type 2, each type has three different versions (functional range):
• Type 1: Pedal interface with max. 3 analogue signals without idle switch.
• Type 2: Pedal interface with max. 2 analogue signals and one idle switch as well as one kickdown
switch.
The programming of the vehicle specific parameters is done with a "master file download" in the
electronic controller via the Continental Trading Configuration Manager.
The master file is created for a specific vehicle pedal unit or pedal sensors with tolerances
incorporated. The tolerances are included to allow for any differences between each individual pedal
of the same vehicle type.
The following diagram displays an example of a pedal unit with an analogue output and an idle switch.

Special Case:
Act with caution if essential work is required with the engine running. Wear appropriate work clothes,
because there is the danger of injuries such as bruises or burns. Long hair should be tied back and a
cap worn.
Do not smoke!
No open fire or light!
Electrical Connection
Connect the cables according to the electrical connection diagram. Incorrect connections may lead to
short circuits!
Safety instructions:
• Danger of short circuit caused by incorrect connections or damaged cables! Therefore, all
connections to the voltage supply have to either be smoothly soldered or provided with a solder
able butt joint and adequately isolated. Pay special attention to correct ground connections! Cable
ends not used must be isolated!
• Pay attention to cross section of cables! A reduction of the cable cross section leads to an
increased current density. This may lead to an increased heat within the corresponding cable
section!
• Stripping of cable insulation should only be carried out with an appropriate stripping tool. Adjust the
stripping tool in such a way that no conductor is damaged or separated!
• Only crimp connections with an appropriate crimping tool. When running cables only use existing
cable channels and cable lines, do not lay the cables parallel to ignition cables or high current
cables! Fix the cables with binders or adhesive tape!
• Pay attention that the cables cannot be damaged!
• If the cables are run through panel holes, protect them with grommets or similar parts.
Do not smoke!
No open fire or light!

1Æ Input of desired engine speed limit and the vehicle-specific engine speed pulses. If the engine
speed limitation is not in use, 8000 rpm should be entered as the limit.
Adjustments should be in the following order PÆIÆPrediction Gain. Make sure that default settings
are P=50, I=100 and Prediction Gain=1.
In this case I and Prediction Gain have no influence on the adjustment of P.
During a test drive make sure the rpm limiter operation is surge-free.
If the operation is not sufficient adjust the P-Gain value from 50 to 100.
Repeat this procedure (double P-Gain ....200.....400) until the engine limit runs smoothly.
Important: Too high P-value results in a slow and sluggish operation.
Adjust I-Gain. Reduce the value by halve (100....50....25) and check if the vehicle works smoothly.
Should there be any overshoot of maximum rpm, increase the Prediction Gain value step by step (1%
Æ2%Æ3%). The Prediction Gain will reduce the overshoot. Ascertain the ideal value for a smooth
operation.

1Æ Maximum Road Speed – Allows an additional disengage function of the rpm control when the
road speed exceeds the speed set in this window.
Reset Delay: Æ Safety Function when the rpm control has been switched off via an illegal
disengaged i.e. not turned off via normal off button. The reset delay function will limit the
vehicle pedal to 0 % throttle. To regain the throttle pedal output the ignition has to be switched
off for minimum of 10sec. When the ignition is switched back on the 100% throttle will be
returned after the programmed reset delay time has lapsed. To remove the reset delay function
programme 0 secs
Attention: If the fixed rpm control switch is still active the rpm control comes up immediately
after an ignition reset. For this reason "Reset Delay" time have to be at min. 1sec.
For restarting the variable rpm control the reactivation has to be done via hand set.
