DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED.
Result:
Yes
GO TO THE APPLICABLE DTC INSPECTION.
- Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE".
- REPEAT THE INSPECTION FROM STEP 1.
- If the malfunction recurs, replace the ECM.
Refer to REMOVAL [07/2015 - ]
- Go to the next step.
Result
Proceed to NEXT
Result:
NEXT
See step 8
- If the malfunction recurs, replace the ECM.
- REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
- Refer to REMOVAL [07/2015 - ]
- Then go to the next step.

See step 7
- REFER TO THE WIRING DIAGRAM AND VERIFY WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A COMMON CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING TERMINALS:
- APP sensor terminal E7-6-ECM terminal A42-29
- APP sensor terminal E7-5-ECM terminal A42-43
If there is a common connector:
- Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
- Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
- Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.
Result:
NEXT
See step 7
- REFER TO THE WIRING DIAGRAM AND VERIFY WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A COMMON CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING TERMINALS:
- APP sensor terminal E7-5-ECM terminal A42-43
- APP sensor terminal E7-4-ECM terminal A42-58
If there is a common connector:
- Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to each other.
- Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
- Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to each other.
Result:
NEXT
See step 7
- REPAIR OR REPLACE THE CONNECTOR AND/OR TERMINALS.
Result:
NEXT
See step 7
- DISCONNECT THE ECM CONNECTOR.
- If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness:
- Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
- APP sensor terminal E7-6-ECM terminal A42-29
- APP sensor terminal E7-5-ECM terminal A42-43
If there is a common connector:
- Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
- Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
If there is no common connector:
- Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
- Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
