Circuit/System Testing

Adjustable Pedal Switch Circuit Malfunction

  1. Disconnect the harness connector at the adjustable pedal switch.
  2. Ignition ON, test for 11.8-12.2 volts between the appropriate 12-volt reference circuit listed below and ground:
    • X88/Z88 - terminal 11
    • Z75 - terminal 5
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 12-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  3. Verify the scan tool Pedal Forward Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
      • X88/Z88 - terminal 12
      • Z75 - terminal 6
  4. Verify the scan tool Pedal Aft Switch parameter is Inactive.
    • If not the specified value, test the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
      • X88/Z88 - terminal 10
      • Z75 - terminal 4
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and B+. The scan tool Pedal Forward Switch parameter should be Active.
    • X88/Z88 - terminal 12
    • Z75 - terminal 6
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  6. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the appropriate signal circuit terminal listed below and B+. The scan tool Pedal Aft Switch parameter should be Active.
    • X88/Z88 - terminal 10
    • Z75 - terminal 4
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the adjustable pedal switch.

Adjustable Pedal Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the adjustable pedal motor.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 10 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  3. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  4. Verify the scan tool Pedal Position parameter is less than 0.45 volt.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  5. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool Pedal Position parameter is greater than 4.55 volts.
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the adjustable pedal motor.

Adjustable Pedal Motor Circuit Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the MSM.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
  3. Connect the X3 harness connector at the MSM and disconnect the harness connector at the electronic adjustable pedal assembly.
  4. Ignition ON, test for 1.5-2.5 volts between the control circuit terminals listed below and ground:
    • Control circuit terminal 4
    • Control circuit terminal 5
    • If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
    • If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the MSM.
  5. Connect the test lamp between the control circuit terminal 4 and the control circuit terminal 5.
  6. Command the adjustable pedals to move forward and rearward. The test lamp should illuminate each time the pedals are commanded to move.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, replace the MSM.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the electronic adjustable pedal assembly.
