Circuit Description

The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors 1 and 2 are located within the accelerator pedal assembly. Each sensor has the following circuits:

• A 5-volt reference circuit
• A low reference circuit
• A signal circuit

The APP sensor provides the engine control module (ECM) with a signal voltage proportional to accelerator pedal movement. The APP sensor 1 signal voltage at rest position is near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage at rest position is also near the low reference and increases as the pedal is actuated. When the ECM detects that the APP sensor 1 signal voltage is outside the predicted range, DTC P1275 sets.
