DTC P2138 THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH “D”/“E” VOLTAGE CORRELATION

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Immediately at fault recognition

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

• Improper idling

• Poor driving performance

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode , and Inspection Mode .

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT.

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2) Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

Main accelerator pedal position sensor signal

(B135) No. 23 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal

(B135) No. 31 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the difference in measured values for the main accelerator pedal position sensor signal and the sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal 0 V?

2.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT.

1) Measure the voltage between accelerator pedal position sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B315) No. 6 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

(B315) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the difference in measured values for the main accelerator pedal position sensor signal and the sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal 0 V?

Replace the accelerator pedal.

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

• Open circuit in harness between ECM and accelerator pedal position sensor connector

• Short circuit to ground in harness between ECM and accelerator pedal position sensor connector

3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.

Check the resistance of harness between the accelerator pedal position sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B315) No. 5 — Chassis ground:

(B315) No. 2 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

• Open circuit in harness between ECM and accelerator pedal position sensor connector

• Open circuit of harness between ECM and engine ground

• Poor contact of coupling connector
