Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR INSPECTION[LF, L3]

NOTE: Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the troubleshooting flowchart.




1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
3. Select APP1 and APP2 PID on the M-MDS.
4. Verify that the APP1 and APP2 PID is within the specification when the accelerator pedal not depressed. (See PCM INSPECTIONS L3].) PCM Inspection

Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connectors.
2. Disconnect the APP sensor connector.










3. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for an open or short circuit. (Continuity inspection)

Open circuit
- If there is no continuity in the following wiring harnesses, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
- APP sensor terminal A and PCM terminal1AL*1 *2, 1AW*3
- APP sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 1AP*1*2, 1Y*3
- APP sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 1AS*\ 1AV*2, 1AA*3
- APP sensor terminal D and PCM terminal body ground
- APP sensor terminal E and PCM terminal 1AC*1, 1AO*2, 1AL*3
- APP sensor terminal F and main relay terminal A

Short circuit
- If there is continuity in the following wiring harnesses, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
- APP sensor terminal A and body ground
- APP sensor terminal B and body ground
- APP sensor terminal B and power supply
- APP sensor terminal C and power supply
- APP sensor terminal D and power supply
- APP sensor terminal E and body ground
- APP sensor terminal E and power supply APP sensor terminal F and power supply
