Pedal value sensor, ME-SFI fault code description - AD07.61-P-4000-45L

1 Fault code P20CF Voltage difference between signal 1 and signal 2 (P0120)
(USA ONLY Display on generic scan tool) P20DC Interruption at signal path 1 (P0120)
P20DD Short circuit at signal path 1 (P0120)
P20DE Interruption at signal path 2 (P0120)
P20DF Short circuit at signal path 2 (P0120)
P20E3 Voltage supply to accelerator pedal sensor (P0120)
2 Fault storage
Activation of the engine diagnosis indicator lamp (EURO3/4)
or CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY
After expiry of test duration and fault
Following two successive driving cycles with faults
3 Checking frequency Continuous
4 Checked signal or status Voltages at accelerator pedal sensor
5 Fault setting conditions 
Voltage difference between signal 1 and signal 2
Short circuit to positive
Short circuit to ground/open circuit
Voltage supply
The signals may deviate from one another in the idle speed position no more than 8 %.
For comparison purposes, signal 2 is multiplied by 2.
If signal 1 is larger than 4.9 V or signal 2 larger than 2.4 V, a short-circuit to positive is present (12 V or 5 V) or the accelerator pedal sensor is faulty.
If signal 1 is smaller than 0.2 V or signal 2 smaller than 0.1 V, the cause is a short to ground, an interruption or the accelerator pedal sensor is faulty.
The voltage supply to the accelerator pedal sensor must lie between 4.75 to 5.25 V.
6 Check prerequisites Ignition ON
7 IMPORTANT In the event of a fault, emergency mode is activated.
