Inspection Procedure 12: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main) System
OPERATION
- A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the accelerator
pedal position sensor (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 7).
- The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 6) from the accelerator
pedal position sensor (terminal No. 2).
- The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 18) from the accelerator
pedal position sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3).
FUNCTION
- The accelerator pedal position sensor (main) outputs
voltage which corresponds to the accelerator pedal depression.
- The engine-ECU injects fuel in accordance with the accelerator pedal position.
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Failed accelerator pedal position sensor
- Open/short circuit or harness damage in accelerator pedal position sensor circuit
or loose connector contact
- Failed engine-ECU
