UD exhaust brake was created by wedgetail84
Is it normal for a UD CWA45 to not have a micro switch on the accelerator pedal to cut out the exhaust brake? I’ve had a good look around the pedal and linkages but pretty sure it’s never had one. Was this common practice?

How new is it??? I would assume on these electronic engines it would be part of the "Fly by Wire" computer connection???

Being Japanese, (I reckon) there will be a circuit board that looks like a transistor radio, but smaller with not antenna coil or speaker tucked in the steering column somewhere. It will be sensing a few inputs. The brake is probably sensed from the same circuit as the lights which will be triggered from a pressure switch somewhere. Maybe even in the hydraulic line itself.

Switch may be on the pump?.....i do recall ,the cutout wouldnt work if the idle was set too high by the button in the cab.

I have vague memories of some Jap jiggers having a plunger or lockout of some description, preventing depression of the accelerator, when the exhaust was on.

I have me feeling you are right, or very close to been right, there was some small little Jap thingy I drove once that had something to stop your accelerator getting pushed all the way under certain conditions
I have me a feeling it was 22 seater bus and it was if the door never shut fully ?
May be wrong but it was something along those lines and I reckon it was a Toyota Coaster jobby

Having a few smaller Jap trucks myself, I can not say I've even seen something that stops you pressing down on the acc pedal. When you do that it just cancels the exhaust braking via a couple of switches, one on the clutch pedal, one on the acc pedal (both look similar to a stoplight switch)
