Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

APP SENSOR NO. 2 VOLTAGE ABOVE 2.5 VOLTS
NOTE:
When this DTC is Active the engine speed, torque, and vehicle speed are limited to a Limp in mode.
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With a scan tool, read the APP Sensor No. 2 voltage.
  NOTE:
  Diagnose any 5-Volt Supply DTCs before continuing.
  
  Is the voltage above 2.5 Volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2.
  No
  - Go To 8.
CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the APP Sensor harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. With a scan tool, monitor the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor voltage.
  Is the voltage above 0 Volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3.
  No
  - Replace the APP Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. After installation is complete, use a scan tool and select the ETC RELEARN function to relearn the APPS values.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
CHECK THE (K29) APP SENSOR 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO BATTERY

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Measure the voltage on the (K29) APP Sensor 2 Signal circuit in the APP Sensor harness connector.
  Is the voltage above 0 Volts?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K29) APP Sensor 2 Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 4.
CHECK FOR THE (K29) APP SENSOR 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance between the (K29) APP Sensor 2 Signal circuit and the (F856) 5-Volt Supply circuit in the APP Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the (K29) APP Sensor 2 Signal circuit and the (F856) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 5.

1. Measure the resistance between the (K29) APP Sensor 2 Signal circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit in the APP Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the (K29) APP Sensor 2 Signal circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 6.
CHECK THE (K400) APP SENSOR 2 RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (K400) APP Sensor 2 Return circuit from the APP Sensor harness connector to the C2 PCM harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 7.
  No
  - Repair the (K400) APP Sensor 2 Return circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
NOTE:
Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
  Were there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
APP SENSOR NO. 2 SWEEP
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With a scan tool, monitor the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor voltage.
3. Slowly press the Accelerator Pedal down.
  Does voltage start at approximately 0 Volts and go above 2.31 Volts with a smooth transition?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L .
  No
  - Replace the APP Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. After installation is complete, use a scan tool and select the ETC RELEARN function to relearn the APPS values.
