The voltage difference between APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 exceeds a predetermined value for greater than 2 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P2120, P2122, P2123, P2125, P2127, P2128, and P2138 are Type A DTCs.
* The control module commands the TAC system to operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode.
* A message center or an indicator displays Reduced Engine Power.
* Under certain conditions the control module commands the engine OFF.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description ( See: Hybrid Drive
Systems/Description and Operation/Hybrid Modes of Operation).
2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.
瀚慖f the hood position does not display Open, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) for DTC P254F.
3. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0641 or P0651 are not set.
瀚慖f a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0641 or P0651 (See: P Code Charts/P0641) for further diagnosis.
4. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool APP Sensor 1 and 2 voltage parameters. Both readings should be between 0.30-1.2 V, and change with
accelerator pedal input.
5. Observe the scan tool APP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter while performing the following tests:
* Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the
procedure several times.
* Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times.
The APP Sensor 1 and 2 Agree/Disagree parameter should display Agree.
6. Clear the DTCs with the scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC, or within the conditions that you
observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
