An active accelerator pedal (12) for a vehicle (10), said active accelerator pedal comprising a pedal position sensor (26) that is designed to detect a position of a pedal lever (14) of the active accelerator pedal (12) and to convert this position into a pedal position signal (52), an actuator (16) that is designed to provide haptic feedback to said pedal lever (14), and an actuator sensor (28) that is designed to control said actuator (16). The pedal position sensor (26) is designed to transmit pedal position signals (52) to a central engine control unit (18) of the vehicle (10), with which pedal position signals said engine control unit (18) controls the drive (20) of the vehicle (10). The actuator control unit (28) is designed to receive a pedal position signal (52, 54) from the pedal position sensor (26).
