DTC P1709 Throttle Position Sensor Circuit High Input
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
The input signal circuit of accelerator pedal position sensor is shorted.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
- Shift point is too high or too low.
- Excessive shift shock
- Tight corner braking phenomenon occurs.
WIRING DIAGRAM:
RESISTANCE CHART
| Step | Check | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 CHECK ENGINE GROUND TERMINALS. | Is the engine ground terminals tightened securely? | Go to step 2. | Tighten the engine ground terminals. |
2 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR ECM.
|
Is the resistance less than 5 Ω? | Go to step 3. | Repair the open circuit of harness between ECM connector and engine grounding terminal. |
3 CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR.
|
Is the resistance between 0.75 - 3.15 kΩ? | Go to step 4. | Replace the accelerator pedal position sensor. |
| 4 CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. Measure the resistance between accelerator pedal position sensor connector receptacle's terminals. Connector & terminal No. 2 - No. 3: |
Is the resistance between 0.15 - 1.05 kΩ? | Go to step 5. | Replace the accelerator pedal position sensor. |
5 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN TCM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR.
|
Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? | Go to step 6. | Repair the short circuit of harness between TCM and accelerator pedal position sensor connector. |
6 CHECK HARNESS CONNECTOR BETWEEN ECM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR.
|
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? | Go to step 7. | Repair the open circuit of harness between ECM and accelerator pedal position sensor. |
7 CHECK INPUT SIGNAL FOR TCM USING SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
|
Is the voltage less than 4.6 V? | Go to step 8. | Even if the SPORT indicator light is blinking, the circuit is in normal condition at this time. A temporary poor contact of connector or harness may be the cause. Repair the harness or connector in accelerator pedal position sensor circuit. |
| 8 CHECK POOR CONTACT. | Is there poor contact in accelerator pedal position sensor circuit? | Repair the poor contact. | Replace the TCM. < Ref. to TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) . > |
