P212514

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "E" Circuit Short to Ground or Open

Diagnosis condition:

  • Engine switch on (IG)

Abnormal condition:

  • VPA2 is 1.2 V or less when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

Malfunction time:

  • 0.5 seconds or more

Trip logic:

  • 1 trip detection logic

Detection conditions:

  • Continuous

Sensors/components used for detection:

  • Accelerator pedal sensor assembly
  • Accelerator pedal sensor assembly
  • Open in VCP2 circuit
  • Open or ground short in VPA2 circuit
  • ECM

Comes on

DTC stored

SAE Code: P2127

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the engine switch is on (IG), the accelerator pedal is depressed and the VPA2 voltage is 1.2 V or less for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM determines that the accelerator pedal sensor assembly circuit is malfunctioning and illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

FAIL-SAFE

When these DTCs are stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. If either of the 2 sensor circuits malfunctions, the ECM limits the engine output. If both of the circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is closed and the engine idles.

Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the engine switch is turned off.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY)

*a

Front view of wire harness connector

(to Accelerator Pedal Sensor Assembly)

HINT:

Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.

(a) Disconnect the accelerator pedal sensor assembly connector.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

A54-1 (VCP2) - Body ground

Engine switch on (IG)

4.5 to 5.5 V

GO TO STEP 4

OK

2.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the accelerator pedal sensor assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

A54-3 (VPA2) - A47-58 (VPA2)

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK

3.

CHECK INTERNAL RESISTANCE (ECM)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Disconnect the accelerator pedal sensor assembly connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

A54-3 (VPA2) - A54-2 (EPA2)

Engine switch off

28.00 to 40.95 kΩ

HINT:

As voltage is still supplied to the ECM after the engine switch is turned off, this check cannot be performed correctly during the shut-down process.
