OPERATION
  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the accelerator pedal position switch output terminal (terminal No. 4) from the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 38).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 96) from the Accelerator pedal position switch (terminal No. 5).
COMMENT ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
  • Accelerator pedal position switch turns OFF when amount of travel of the accelerator pedal exceeds the prescribed value.
  • Engine-A/T-ECU uses the signal that is input by the accelerator pedal position switch for determining the abnormal characteristics of the accelerator pedal position sensor (sub).
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed accelerator pedal position switch.
  • Open/short circuit in accelerator pedal position switch circuit or loose connector contact.
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 2 .
NO:  Repair.
STEP 2. Check accelerator pedal position switch itself
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 3 .
NO:  Replace accelerator pedal position sensor.

OK: 2 Ω or less
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 11 .
NO:  Go to Step 9 .
   
YES:  Go to Step 10 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Replace engine-A/T-ECU.
NO:  Repair.
   
  • Measure engine-A/T-ECU terminal voltage.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 38 and earth.
  • OK:
    0 - 1 V (Release the accelerator pedal)
  • 4 V or more (Depress the accelerator pedal)
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Replace engine-A/T-ECU.
NO:  Go to Step 12 .
   
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 13 .
NO:  Repair.
       
  • Check output line for damage.
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES:  Go to Step 14 .
NO:  Repair.
       
Q: Is the check result normal?
YES: 
  • Check harness between B-124 (terminal No. 5) accelerator pedal position sensor connector and C-137 (terminal No. 96) engine-A/T-ECU connector.
    • Check earthing line for damage.
NO:  Repair.
