A system for detecting accelerator pedal failure in an accelerator pedal system including a vehicle control system, the pedal failure detecting system having an accelerator pedal; a pedal arm; a sensor configured to interpret a force applied to the accelerator pedal and further configured to transmit a signal as a sensor output to the vehicle control system, wherein the vehicle control system is configured to correlate the sensor output to an accelerator pedal position, and to indicate a failure condition when it is not feasible the to read the sensor output given the accelerator pedal position. A method for detecting accelerator pedal failure conditions in an accelerator pedal system.
