An accelerator pedal module is provided that is actuated by the driver's foot for controlling the output of a drive engine. Frequently undesirable noise is generated by means of characteristic vibration in the restoring springs of prior pedal modules. The accelerator pedal module of this invention includes an intertwined multi-wire spring which helps to eliminate undesirable vibration of the restoring spring. The accelerator pedal module is provided for controlling the output of a drive engine of a vehicle and forces the pedal module from a full load stop, back to an idle stop

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An accelerator pedal module for controlling an output delivered by a drive engine, with a pivoting body (3) that is supported at a bearing point (9) on a retaining structure (2), said pivoting body 3 is pivoted around a pivot axis over a pivoting angle (a), a single restoring spring (8) that engages at least indirectly with the retaining structure (2) and at least indirectly with the pivoting body (3) is provided for restoring the pivoting body (3) into an idle position (R), the single restoring spring (8) is a multi-wire spring (8) intertwined out of a number of individual wires (8a-8g), wherein, if one of the wires of the multi-wire spring should break, the remaining wires of the multi-wire spring will still provide sufficient return force to the pivoting body, with very little loss of return force by the multi-wire spring.
