Component Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference terminal of the applicable APP sensor and 5 V. Install a jumper wire between the applicable low reference terminal and a ground.
- Sweep the sensor through the entire range while monitoring the voltage between the appropriate signal circuit terminal and the low reference terminal with a DMM. The voltage for APP 1 should vary between 0.90-4.35 V without any spikes or dropouts. The voltage for APP 2 should vary between 0.60-2.20 V without any spikes or dropouts.
- If not within the specified range or is erratic on either APP sensor, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
