P2122

DTC P2122: APP Sensor A (TP Sensor D) Circuit Low Voltage

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Check APP SENSOR A in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is there about 0.2 V or less?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at APP sensor A and the ECM/PCM.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect the APP sensor 6P connector.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




6. Measure voltage between APP sensor 6P connector terminals No. 5 and No. 6.

Is there about 5 V?

YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Go to step 17.

7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
8. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
9. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).




10. Check for continuity between APP sensor 6P connector terminal No. 4 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between APP sensor A and the ECM/PCM (A26), then go to step 20.

NO - Go to step 11.




11. Connect APP sensor 6P connector terminal No. 4 to body ground with a jumper wire.




12. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A26 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 13.

NO - Repair open in the wire between APP sensor A and the ECM/PCM (A26), then go to step 20.

13. Reconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).




14. Connect APP sensor 6P connector terminals No. 4 and No. 5 with a jumper wire.
15. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
16. Check APP SENSOR A in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is there about 0.2 V or less?

YES - Go to step 25.

NO - Go to step 18.




17. Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminals A21and A24.

Is there about 5 V?

YES - Repair open in the wire between APP sensor A and the ECM/PCM (A21), then go to step 20.

NO - Go to step 25.

18. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
19. Replace the APP sensor.
20. Reconnect all connectors.
21. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
22. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
23. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
24. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P2122 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at APP sensor A and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Troubleshooting is complete.

25. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
26. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P2122 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at APP sensor A and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.
