DTC P2123 (6-Speed A/T, 16-18 9-Speed A/T)

DTC P2123  : APP Sensor A (TP Sensor D) Circuit High Voltage

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P2123 APP Sensor A (TP Sensor D) Circuit High Voltage      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    APP SENSOR A More than 4.9 V    

    Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the APP sensor and the PCM.

    If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems .

  2. Determine possible failure area (APP sensor, others)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    APP sensor 6P connector

    - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 APP sensor 6P connector No. 4
    Test point 2 APP sensor 6P connector No. 5

    Is there about 5.0 V?

    YES 

    Replace the APP sensor .

    NO 

    Go to step 3.

  3. Open wire check (PGND line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P)

    - 4. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A APP sensor 6P connector No. 5
    Terminal B Body ground

    - 5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
    APP sensor 6P connector No. 5: jumped to body ground
    PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (51P) No. 43 - Refer to:
    PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (16-18 9-Speed A/T), or
    PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (16-20 6-Speed A/T)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The PGND wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to:

    PCM Removal and Installation (6-Speed A/T, 16-18 9-Speed A/T) .

    NO 

    Repair an open in the PGND wire between the PCM (A43) and the APP sensor.
