On Board Diagnosis Logic

This self-diagnosis has the one trip detection logic  .

NOTE: If DTC P2138 is displayed with DTC P0643, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0643. Refer to "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE ".
DTC DETECTING CONDITION CHART

DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name DTC detecting condition Possible cause
P2138
2138
Accelerator pedal position sensor circuit range/performance Rationally incorrect voltage is sent to ECM compared with the signals from APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2.
  • Harness or connector

    (APP sensor 1 or 2 circuit is open or shorted.)

    (TP sensor circuit is shorted.)

  • Accelerator pedal position sensor

    (APP sensor 1 or 2)

  • Electric throttle control actuator
(TP sensor 1 or 2)

FAIL-SAFE MODE

When the malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL illuminates.

FAIL-SAFE CHART

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.
The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition.
So, the acceleration will be poor.
