Pulse Width Modulation (PMW) Signal Too Low






Pulse width modulation (PWM) signal too low

Checking components and wiring
Check the signal cable between Engine control module (ECM) #B25 (#B35) and accelerator pedal position sensor #2.
Check the power supply from the system relay to accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor terminal #1. Check the ground lead to accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor terminal #3.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate the read off of the signals from the accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor.
Check that the value for both signals is approximately 8% when the accelerator pedal (AP) is unaffected and approximately 82% when the pedal is fully depressed.





Do the values correspond?
