Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. Check if the voltage (ACCEL POS) of the CURRENT DATA indicates the standard value.

Accelerator pedal released: 0.5 to 1.1 V
Accelerator pedal depressed: 2.6 to 4.5 V

d. Check if the voltage (ACCEL POS #2) of the CURRENT DATA indicates the standard value.

Accelerator pedal released: 1.2 to 2.0 V
Accelerator pedal depressed: 3.4 to 5.3 V

If not using a hand-held tester, measure the voltage between terminals (VPA - EPA, VPA2 - EPA2) of the ECM connector.

2. REMOVE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD




a. Disconnect the accelerator pedal connector.
b. Remove the 2 nuts and the accelerator pedal assembly.

3. INSTALL ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD

NOTE: Avoid physical shock to the accelerator pedal assembly. Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal assembly.

a. Install the accelerator pedal assembly with the 2 nuts.

Torque: 5.0 Nm (51 kgf.cm, 44 in.lbf)

b. Connect the accelerator pedal connector.
