DTC P0122 [MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6) (EURO4 emission level)]


id0102g6804200

DTC P0122

Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor No.2 signal below lower limit

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the accelerator pedal depression amount based on the APP sensor No.2 signal using CAN via the instrument cluster. If the PCM detects that the APP sensor No.2 signal is less than 0.04876 V, the PCM determines that the APP sensor No.2 signal is in error.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Communication error between instrument cluster and PCM
•  APP sensor connector or terminals malfunction
•  Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  APP sensor terminal A—instrument cluster terminal 1F
―  APP sensor terminal B—instrument cluster terminal 1D
•  Instrument cluster connector or terminals malfunction
•  APP sensor No.2 signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  APP sensor terminal A—instrument cluster terminal 1F
―  APP sensor terminal B—instrument cluster terminal 1D

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
•  Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related service repair information availability.
•  Is any related repair information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY STORED CAN COMMUNICATION DTC IN PCM AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
•  Retrieve the PCM and instrument cluster DTC using the M-MDS.
•  Is the CAN communication DTC present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT APP SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Switch the ignition to OFF.
•  Disconnect the APP sensor connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT APP SENSOR NO.2 CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  APP sensor connector is disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
―  APP sensor terminal A
―  APP sensor terminal B
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
If the short to ground circuit could be detected:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
If the short to ground circuit could not be detected:
•  Replace the instrument cluster (short to ground in the instrument cluster internal circuit).
Go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the instrument cluster connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT APP SENSOR NO.2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT AND GROUND CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO EACH OTHER
•  APP sensor and instrument cluster connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between APP sensor terminals B and C (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to each other, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT APP SENSOR NO.2 CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  APP sensor and instrument cluster connectors are disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  APP sensor terminal A—instrument cluster terminal 1F
―  APP sensor terminal B—instrument cluster terminal 1D
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to Step 10.
9
INSPECT APP SENSOR NO.2
•  Reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the accelerator pedal, then go to the next step.
No
Replace the instrument cluster, then go to the next step.
10
VERIFY THAT DTC P0122 TROUBLESHOOTING IS COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Run the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA stored condition.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
11
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the after repair procedure.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
