Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCEL POS #1 AND ACCEL POS #2) 
   1. Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester ON.
   3. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ETCS / ACCEL POS #1 and ACCEL POS #2.
   4. Read the values displayed on the tester.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR ECM) 
   1. Disconnect the A19 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor connector.
   2. Disconnect the E8 ECM connector.
   3. Check the resistance.

      Tester Connections	Specified Conditions
      VPA (A19-6) or VPA (E8-18) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
      EPA (A19-5) or EPA (E8-20) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
      VCPA (A19-4) or VCPA (E8-26) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
      VPA2 (A19-3) or VPA2 (E8-19) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
      EPA2 (A19-2) or EPA2 (E8-21) - Body ground	10 kΩ or higher
      VCP2 (A19-1) or VCP2 (E8-27) - 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 

3. REPLACE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD ASSEMBLY 
4. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DTCS) 
   1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester ON.
   3. Clear the DTC (see DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
   4. Start the engine.
   5. Allow the engine to idle for 15 seconds.
   6. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD 11 / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
   7. Read DTCs.
