* The ignition voltage is greater than 6 volts.
* The ECM is not commanding reduced power.
* The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P2122
The ECM detects that the APP sensor 1 voltage is less than 0.46 volt for less than 1 second.
P2123
The ECM detects that the APP sensor 1 voltage is greater than 4.7 volts for less than 1 second.
P2127
The ECM detects that the APP sensor 2 voltage is less than 0.32 volt for less than 1 second.
P2128
The ECM detects that the APP sensor 2 voltage is greater than 2.6 volts for less than 1 second.
P2138
The ECM detects that APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 disagree greater than 10 percent for less than 1 second.
OR
The ECM detects that both APP sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 are 5 percent greater than the learned minimum position for less than 1 second.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, and P2138 are type A DTCs.
* The ECM commands the TAC system to operate in a Reduced Engine Power mode.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, and P2138 are type A DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* If a shared 5-volt reference circuit is shorted to ground or shorted to a voltage, other 5-volt reference circuits may be affected.
* The scan tool 5 volt reference parameter should display between 4.8-5.2 volts.
* A high resistance condition on the accelerator pedal position circuits could cause a DTC to set.
