P2127 Accelerator Position Sensor 2 Signal Circuit Low Input

General Information

Component Location





General Description

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system is made of the components throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) 1&2 and Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) 1&2. The APS is mounted in the accelerator pedal to detect the opening angle of the accelerator pedal. It has 2 sensors to detect the accelerator position and a malfunction of the accelerator position sensor. The PCM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from APS1&2, and the PCM controls the throttle motor based on these signals.

DTC Description

Checking output signals from APS 2 under detecting condition, if output signals are below the threshold, PCM sets P2127.

Signal Waveform & Data
















Fig.1) Normal data of APS1 & APS2 at ig on.
Fig.2) Abnormal data of APS1 & APS2 when APS1 & APS2 circuit open
Fig.3) Normal waveform of APS1 & APS2 with no acceleration
Fig.4) Normal waveform of APS1 & APS2 with acceleration

Signal waveform of APS 1 & 2 shows that APS 2 increases voltage just half of APS 1 voltage increase when accelerating.
