Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0651, P0652, P0653, P0697, P0698, or P0699 should not be set.
瀚慖f a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0641-P0643, P0651-P0653, or P0697-P0699 (ECM, LLT) ( See: P Code Charts/P0641).
2. Observe the scan tool APP Sensor 1 and 2 voltage parameters. Verify both of the APP sensor voltages are between 0.4-4.5 V.
3. Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the procedure
several times. DTCs P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, or P2138 should not set.
4. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times. DTCs
P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, or P2138 should not set.
5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, remove the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal 56 X2 of the ECM.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at the Accelerator Pedal Assembly.
3. Test for less than 5 ohm between the appropriate low reference circuit listed below and ground.
* APP sensor 1 terminal D or 4
* APP sensor 2 terminal A or 5
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage, or an open/high resistance. If the
circuit/connections test normal, replace the engine control module.
4. Install the fuse that supplies B+ to terminal 56 X2 of the ECM.
Note: The 5 V reference circuit voltage can be within the specified range with a high resistance in the circuit. If this condition is suspected,
refer to Diagnostic Aids.
5. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the appropriate 5 V reference circuit listed below and ground.
* APP sensor 1 terminal F or 2
* APP sensor 2 terminal C or 1
瀚慖f less than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test
normal, replace the engine control module.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the
engine control module.
6. Observe the scan tool APP sensor 1 voltage parameter. Verify the voltage is less than 0.3 V.
