  1. Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor
  2. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket. The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 sensor elements and 2 signal outputs: VPA and VPA2. VPA is used to detect the actual accelerator pedal angle (used for engine control) and VPA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VPA. When the difference between the output voltages of VPA and VPA2 deviates from the standard, the ECM determines that the accelerator pedal position sensor is malfunctioning. The ECM turns on the MIL and the DTC is set.

FAIL-SAFE

The accelerator pedal position sensor has two (main and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in either of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between the two sensor circuits and switches to limp mode. In limp mode, the functioning circuit is used to calculate the accelerator pedal opening angle to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the opening angle of the accelerator pedal as being fully closed. In this case, the throttle valve remains closed as if the engine is idling.
If a pass condition is detected and then the engine switch is turned off, the fail-safe operation stops and the system returns to a normal condition.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

УКАЗАНИЕ:
  1. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
  2. This DTC relates to the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor.

1.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCELERATOR POSITION NO. 1 AND ACCELERATOR POSITION NO. 2)


    FI07052E06

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / Data List / Accelerator Position No. 1 and Accelerator Position No. 2.

  1. Read the values displayed on the tester.

    Standard voltage:
    Accelerator Pedal Operation
    		Accelerator Position No. 1
    (AP#1)
    		Accelerator Position No. 2
    (AP#2)
    Released
    		0.5 to 1.1 V
    		1.2 to 2.0 V
    Depressed
    		2.6 to 4.5 V
    		3.4 to 5.0 V
