| DTC P0122
DTC P0222 |
Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor circuit low input |
|---|---|
|
DETECTION CONDITION
|
The PCM monitors the APP sensor signal. If the voltage at instrument cluster terminal 2T remains low, the PCM determines that there is an APP sensor circuit problem.
|
|
POSSIBLE CAUSE
|
• APP sensor malfunction
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Open circuit in the wiring harness between APP sensor terminal A and instrument cluster terminal 2X
• Short to ground in the wiring harness between APP sensor terminal B and instrument cluster terminal 2T
• Open circuit in the wiring harness between APP sensor terminal B and instrument cluster terminal 2T
• PCM malfunction
• Instrument cluster malfunction
