ME-SFI pedal value sensor - Fault code description - AD07.61-P-4000-45A

1 Fault code P1542
2 Fault storage
Activation of the engine diagnosis (EURO3/4)
or CHECK ENGINE (MIL) malfunction indicator lamp USA ONLY
Fault is immediately stored
No malfunction indicator lamp activation
3 Frequency of the test Continuously
4 Checked signal or status Comparison of voltage signals 1 and 2 (from potentiometers or Hall sensors)
5 Fault setting conditions 
Voltage difference between signal 1 and signal 2
Duration of test
Fault if the voltage difference is greater than 8 % (up to approx. 60 % torque angle at the pedal value sensor) or greater than 25 % (as of 60 % torque angle). For comparison purposes, voltage signal 2 is multiplied by 2.
Approx. 30 s
6 Test prerequisites
  • Blocking time after starting, approx. 60 s expired
7 IMPORTANT On commencement of engine 112, 113 production, a pedal value sensor with Hall sensors will be phased in.
If faults are detected, a switch to limp-home mode is carried out.
