DTC P2122-104 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "D" Circuit Low Input; DTC P2123-105 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "D" Circuit High Input; DTC P2127-107 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "E" Circuit Low Input; DTC P2128-108 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "E" Circuit High Input: Description
HINT:
- This is the repair procedure for the accelerator pedal position sensor.
- This electrical throttle system does not use a throttle cable.
- This accelerator pedal position sensor is a non-contact type.
The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal to detect how much it is depressed. It has 2 sensor terminals (VPA and VPA2) to detect the accelerator pedal position and a malfunction of the accelerator pedal position sensor itself. Since this sensor is electronically controlled with hall elements, accurate control and reliability can be obtained.
In the accelerator pedal position sensor, the voltage applied to terminals VPA and VPA2 of the HV control ECU changes between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the degree of depressing the accelerator pedal. The VPA is a signal to indicate the actual accelerator pedal position angle which is used for the HV system control, and the VPA2 is a signal to indicate the actual accelerator pedal position angle which is used for detecting a malfunction of the sensor itself (terminal VPA).
The HV control ECU judges how much the accelerator pedal is being depressed from the VPA and VPA2 signals, and controls the HV system based on the signals.
