Location of accelerator position sensor

My ETS light on my '00 V70R came on and I read the code off VIDA and it came up as "accelerator position signal faulty". The car is running normal so I reset the code and everything was good for a couple weeks until it came on again this morning. Both times there was heavy snow on the road so I don't know how this relates but I want to investigate the accelerator position sensor. Does anyone know where this is located? I'd appreciate any knowledge you can pass on to me to have this checked out. Thanks!

It is the pedal assembly. If you look under dash at the pedal you will see it attaches to black housing with a wire connector on it.

I managed to unplug it and sprayed contact cleaner all over the connector. Let's see if that does anything. Thanks!
