Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCEL SENS. NO. 1 VOLT % AND NO. 2 VOLT %)


    1. A01KHX3E07
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Accelerator Pedal Link Assembly
      *a Depressed
      *b Released

      Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %.

    4. Read the values.

      Standard Value
      Accelerator Pedal Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %
      Released 8 to 28% 51 to 86%
      Depressed 30 to 55% 73 to 98%

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL LINK ASSEMBLY - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the accelerator pedal link assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A26-1 - E16-4 (VCP2) Always Below 1 Ω
      A26-2 - E16-3 (EPA2) Always Below 1 Ω
      A26-3 - E17-1 (VPA2) Always Below 1 Ω
      A26-4 - E16-6 (VCPA) Always Below 1 Ω
      A26-5 - E16-5 (EPA) Always Below 1 Ω
      A26-6 - E17-2 (VPA) Always Below 1 Ω
      A26-1 or E16-4 (VCP2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A26-3 or E17-1 (VPA2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A26-4 or E16-6 (VCPA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A26-6 or E17-2 (VPA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
