Code 14: Accelerator Or Throttle Position Sensor Failure
NOTE:
Code 14 is output when initial difference between Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is 20 degrees or greater due to open circuit.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect APS harness connector. See Figure . Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between APS component terminals No. 3 and 4. Depress accelerator pedal slowly to floor while monitoring ohmmeter.
- If resistance increases from zero ohms to 3.5-6.5 ohms smoothly as pedal is depressed, replace TPS. See THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If resistance is not within specification, or resistance value changes erratically, replace APS and retest. See ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR (APS) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.
