DTC P2121: Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "D" Circuit Range / Performance: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ACCEL SENSOR OUT NO. 1 AND NO. 2)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Accel Sensor Out No. 1 and Accel Sensor Out No. 2.
- Read the values displayed on the Techstream.
Standard voltage
Accelerator Pedal Condition Accel Sensor Out No. 1 Accel Sensor Out No. 2 Released 0.5 to 1.1 V 1.2 to 2.0 V Depressed 2.6 to 4.5 V 3.4 to 5.0 V
OK → See step 3
NG: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR - ECM)
- Disconnect the A2 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor connector.
- Disconnect the A10 ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
Tester Connection Specified Condition VPA (A2-6) - VPA (A10-55) Below 1 Ω EPA (A2-5) - EPA (A10-59) Below 1 Ω VCPA (A2-4) - VCPA (A10-57) Below 1 Ω VPA2 (A2-3) - VPA2 (A10-56) Below 1 Ω EPA2 (A2-2) - EPA2 (A10-60) Below 1 Ω VCP2 (A2-1) - VCP2 (A10-58) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
Tester Connection Specified Condition VPA (A2-6) or VPA (A10-55) - body ground 10 kΩ or higher EPA (A2-5) or EPA (A10-59) - body ground 10 kΩ or higher VCPA (A2-4) or VCPA (A10-57) - body ground 10 kΩ or higher VPA2 (A2-3) or VPA2 (A10-56) - body ground 10 kΩ or higher EPA2 (A2-2) or EPA2 (A10-60) - body ground 10 kΩ or higher VCP2 (A2-1) or VCP2 (A10-58) - body ground 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the APP sensor connector.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD ASSEMBLY
NEXT: Go to next step
- CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DTCS)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .
- Start the engine.
- Allow the engine to idle for 15 seconds.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Code.
- Read the DTCs.
Result
Display (DTC Output) Proceed to P2121 A No output B
B → END
A → See step 5
- REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL
