No
- Go To 4
- CHECK FOR THE (K23) APP SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUITS
- Check for continuity between the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit and the:
- (K400) Sensor Ground circuit at the APP Sensor harness connector.
- (K167) Sensor Ground circuit at the APP Sensor harness connector.
Is there continuity between (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit and (K400) Sensor Ground circuit or (K167) Sensor Ground circuit?
Yes
- Repair the (K23) APP Sensor Signal 1 circuit for a short to the Sensor Ground circuit that showed continuity.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- Check for continuity between the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit and the:
- CHECK THE (K23) APP SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit between the APP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit between the APP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
- CHECK THE (K167) APP SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (K167) APP Sensor Ground circuit between the APP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the (K167) APP Sensor Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (K167) APP Sensor Ground circuit between the APP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
- CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
- Reconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Connect a jumper between the (K852) 5-Volt Supply circuit and the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit at the APP Sensor harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.NOTE:
The P2123-ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT HIGH DTC should display as active or pending with the jumper in place.
Does the scan tool display as described above?
Yes
- Replace the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 8
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
