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 (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR)


    1. A01BGMQE03
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Accelerator Pedal 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 Voltage
      Accelerator Pedal Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %
      Released 8 to 28% 30 to 55%
      Depressed 51 to 86% 73 to 98%

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor 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
      B1-1 (VCP2) - B47-4 (VCP2) Always Below 1 Ω
      B1-2 (EPA2) - B47-3 (EPA2) Always Below 1 Ω
      B1-3 (VPA2) - B48-1 (VPA2) Always Below 1 Ω
      B1-4 (VCPA) - B47-6 (VCPA) Always Below 1 Ω
      B1-5 (EPA) - B47-5 (EPA) Always Below 1 Ω
      B1-6 (VPA) - B48-2 (VPA) Always Below 1 Ω
      B1-1 (VCP2) or B47-4 (VCP2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B1-3 (VPA2) or B48-1 (VPA2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B1-4 (VCPA) or B47-6 (VCPA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B1-6 (VPA) or B48-2 (VPA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.
