Diagnostic Test
1. DTC IS ACTIVENOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor supply voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.
Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go to 2
No
- Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

No
- Go to 6
6. (K23) APP SIGNAL 1 CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance of the (K23) APP Signal 1 between the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 7
No
- Repair the (K23) APP Signal 1 for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
7. (K167) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance of the (K167) Sensor Ground circuit between the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to 8
No
- Repair the (K167) Sensor Ground circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
8. ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
Turn the ignition off.
Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.
Connect a jumper wire between the (K167) Sensor Ground circuit and the (K23) APP Signal 1 circuit in the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor signal voltage.
Is the voltage below 1.0 volt with the jumper wire in place?
Yes
- Replace the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
