Inspection Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Lexus RX 400h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCEL POS #1 AND #2)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / OBD/ MOBD / HV ECU / DTAT LIST / ACCEL POS #1 and #2.
- Read the voltage for the accelerator pedal position sensor data.
Result
ACCEL POS #1 AND #2Accelerator Pedal ACCEL POS #1 ACCEL POS #2 Released 0.4 to 1.4 V 1.0 to 2.2 V Depressed 3.1 to 4.6 V 3.9 to 4.8 V
OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
NG: GO TO NEXT STEP
- INSPECT HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU
- Disconnect the A12 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage

NG: GO TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (HV CONTROL ECU - ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR)
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the H34 HV control ECU connector.
- Disconnect the AR accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
HV CONTROL ECU - ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR (VOLTAGE)Tester Connection Specified Condition VPA (H34-25) - Body ground Below 1 V VCP1 (H34-24) - Body ground Below 1 V EP1 (H34-33) - Body ground Below 1 V VPA2 (H34-26) - Body ground Below 1 V VCP2 (H34-31) - Body ground Below 1 V EP2 (H34-32) - Body ground Below 1 V - Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table.
Standard Resistance (Check for open)
HV CONTROL ECU - ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR (CHECK FOR OPEN)Tester Connection Specified Condition VPA (H34-25) - VPA1 (A12-6) Below 1 Ω VCP1 (H34-24) - VCP1 (A12-4) Below 1 Ω EP1 (H34-33) - EP1 (A12-5) Below 1 Ω VPA2 (H34-26) - VPA2 (A12-3) Below 1 Ω VCP2 (H34-31) - VCP2 (A12-1) Below 1 Ω EP2 (H34-32) - EP2 (A12-2) Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for short)
HV CONTROL ECU - ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR (CHECK FOR SHORT)Tester Connection Specified Condition VPA (H34-25) or VPA1 (A12-6) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher VCP1 (H34-24) or VCP1 (A12-4) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher EP1 (H34-33) or EP1 (A12-5) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher VPA2 (H34-26) or VPA2 (A12-3) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher VCP2 (H34-31) or VCP2 (A12-1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher EP2 (H34-32) or EP2 (A12-2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: REPLACE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD ASSEMBLY
