Ignition switch ON for 5 seconds or more.


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

  • Slowly depress the accelerator pedal until Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % is approximately 30% and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt % is approximately 46%, then slowly release the accelerator pedal.

Either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic):


  1. Difference between VPA and VPA2 is less than 0.4 V, or higher than 1.2 V. (learned value of accelerator off position)

  2. Difference between VPA and VPA2 is greater than or equal to the specified value.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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 GTS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR)


    1. A003BQOE03
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Accelerator Pedal Assembly
      *a Depressed
      *b Released

      Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS 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.

  3. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2121)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

    4. Wait for 5 seconds after turning the ignition switch to ON.

    5. Turn the GTS on.

    6. Operate the accelerator pedal in accordance with the following procedure [B].


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

      2. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal until Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % is approximately 30% and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt % is approximately 46%, then slowly release the accelerator pedal.

    7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    8. Read the DTCs.
