2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Accel Sensor Out No. 1 and Accel Sensor Out No. 2.
4. Read the values displayed on the tester.

   Standard voltage

   Accelerator Pedal Operations	Accel Sensor Out No. 1	Accel Sensor Out No. 2	Difference between Accel Sensor Out No. 1 and Accel Sensor Out No. 2
   Released	0.5 to 1.1 V	1.2 to 2.0 V	More than 0.02 V
   Depressed	2.6 to 4.5 V	3.4 to 4.7 V

1. Disconnect the A26 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor connector.
2. Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

   Standard resistance (Check for open)

   Tester Connection	Specified Condition
   VPA (A26-6) - VPA (A6-33)	Below 1 Ω
   EPA (A26-5) - EPA (A6-34)	Below 1 Ω
   VCPA (A26-4) - VCPA (A6-35)	Below 1 Ω
   VPA2 (A26-3) - VPA2 (A6-32)	Below 1 Ω
   EPA2 (A26-2) - EPA2 (A6-26)	Below 1 Ω
   VCP2 (A26-1) - VCP2 (A6-27)	Below 1 Ω

   Standard resistance (Check for short)

   Tester Connection	Specified Condition
   VPA (A26-6) or VPA (A6-33) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
   EPA (A26-5) or EPA (A6-34) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
   VCPA (A26-4) or VCPA (A6-35) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
   VPA2 (A26-3) or VPA2 (A6-32) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
   EPA2 (A26-2) or EPA2 (A6-26) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
   VCP2 (A26-1) or VCP2 (A6-27) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher

4. Reconnect the APP sensor connector.
5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK: Go to next step
