Component Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: The Circuit/System Testing must be performed before proceeding with the Component Test.

Dynamic Test

Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference terminal of the applicable APP sensor and 5 volts. Install a jumper wire between the low reference terminal and a ground.
Sweep the sensor through the entire range while monitoring the voltage between the signal terminal and the low reference terminal with a DMM. The voltage should vary between 0.30-4.98 volts without any spikes or dropouts.
- If the voltage is not within the specified range or is erratic, replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
