I have set my triple meter to include the accelerometer. It works/reads varying percentages perfectly when I am not in cruise control and also works perfectly when even in cruise control when I manually apply the throttle.

Question, does anyone know why it does not show acceleration (stays at "0 %") when in cruise control and the engine is applying or not applying throttle by itself, maintaining my desired speed up and down most hills?

Just curious at to why Subaru designed it to remain at "0" under those conditions, for I am thinking I am not the only one who is curious as to how much throttle the ECU is specifying while under cruise.

Thank you.

Acceleration? Or throttle? From my hs physics class acceleration means Chang in speed, if you're going 60mph constant your acceleration is 0

OP means accelerator % -- accelerator is colloquially the term used to describe the throttle pedal.

ok, maybe it's just a pedal position reader.

I wish the cars had real accelerometers in them.

My first guess is that subaru doesn't want us to see all the up/down pedal movement.
