Code No. P2128: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (Sub) Circuit High Input








OPERATION



  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the accelerator pedal position sensor (terminal No. 4) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 78).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 79) from the accelerator pedal position sensor (terminal No. 5).
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 77) from the accelerator pedal position sensor output terminal (terminal No. 6).

FUNCTION



  • The accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) outputs voltage which corresponds to the accelerator pedal depression.
  • The engine-ECU checks whether the voltage is within a specified range.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Condition
  • Ignition switch is "ON" position.
Judgement Criterion
  • Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) output voltage is 2.5 V or higher.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed accelerator pedal position sensor
  • Open circuit or harness damage in accelerator pedal position sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 12: Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: C-124 accelerator pedal position sensor connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform resistance measurement at C-124 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Resistance between terminal No. 5 and earth.
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7 .
Go to Step 4 .

STEP 4. Connector check: B-30 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 5. Check harness between C-124 (terminal No. 5) accelerator pedal position sensor connector and B-30 (terminal No. 79) engine-ECU connector.

  • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6 .
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 12: Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Replace the engine-ECU.

STEP 7. Replace the accelerator pedal assembly

  • After replacing the accelerator pedal assembly, re-check the trouble symptoms.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Check end.
Replace the engine-ECU.
