WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
This diagnostic checks the validity and availability of the gas pedal position signal which is sent by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via a CAN message. The diagnostic checks the validity by performing a CRC and message counter check to verify the gas pedal position signal is continuously updated by the PCM and that it has a valid value. The diagnostic also checks the availability by checking the received valid bit.
