P1630 AUDI, VOLKSWAGEN: ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR 1 LOW INPUT
To control modern accelerator systems, manufacturers design electronic systems, which include an actuator, a motor, and various sensors. All these components together collect information that is provided to the ECM (Engine Control Module), the module in charge of managing when the throttle is closed or opened.
In the case of the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP Sensor), it is an electronic device located on the accelerator pedal. It detects in which position the pedal is located and, based on this position, informs the ECM through an electrical signal. The ECM, taking this data into account, will adjust the pedal angle.

DTC P1630 OBD2 is set for one of the following reasons:
