ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:19 (1)

DTC Code DTC Name
19 (1) Accelerator Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

Tech Tips


  • This is a troubleshooting procedure for the accelerator pedal position sensor.

  • This electrical throttle system does not use a throttle cable.

  • This accelerator pedal position sensor is a non-contact type.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal to detect the position of the accelerator pedal. Since this sensor is electronically controlled with hall elements, accurate control and reliability can be obtained. It has 2 sensors in order to detect the accelerator position and malfunctions of the accelerator position sensor.

Due to the accelerator pedal position sensor, the voltage applied to terminals VPA and VPA2 of the ECM changes between 0 V and 5 V according to the position of the accelerator pedal. VPA is a signal which indicates the actual accelerator pedal position and is used for engine control, and VPA2 is a signal which indicates information about the position and is used for detecting malfunctions. Based on the signals input to terminals VPA and VPA2, the ECM determines the current position of the accelerator pedal and controls the injection pump.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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.

When using intelligent tester:

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCELERATOR POSITION)


    1. A00OB01E37
      Text in Illustration
      *a Depressed
      *b Released

      Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Accel Position.

    4. Check that the value displayed on the intelligent tester changes when repeatedly depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal.

      OK
      Value changes.

    OK

  2. READ OUTPUT DTC (CHECK IF ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DTC IS OUTPUT AGAIN)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Clear the DTC Click here.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds or more.
