DTC P2125
The accelerator pedal position (APP)
sensors 1 and 2 are located within the accelerator pedal assembly. Each
sensor has the following circuits:
This provides the engine control
module (ECM) with a signal voltage proportional to accelerator pedal movement.
The APP sensors have opposite functionality. APP sensor 1 signal voltage
increases as the pedal is depressed, from below 1 volt at rest to above
2.5 volts when fully depressed. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage
decreases as the pedal is depressed, from approximately 4 volts at rest to
less than 1 volt with the accelerator pedal fully depressed. If the ECM
detects that the APP sensor 2 signal voltage is not within the predicted
range, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports
the following DTC:
DTC P2125 Accelerator Pedal
Position (APP) Sensor 2 Circuit
Conditions
for Running the DTC
Conditions
for Setting the DTC
The APP sensor 2 voltage is
less than 0.3625 volt or more than 4.225 volts for more than
0.4 second.
Action
Taken When the DTC Sets
Conditions
for Clearing the MIL/DTC
|
• |
The control module turns OFF the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
|
• |
A current DTC, Last Test Failed,
clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
|
• |
A history DTC clears after
40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or
any other emission related diagnostic. |
|
• |
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a
scan tool. |
