HINT:
After confirming DTC P2120, P2122, P2123, P2125, P2127, P2128 and P2138 use the OBD II scan tool
or the hand-held tester to confirm the accelerator pedal opening percentage.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When VPA or VPA2, deviates from the standard, or the difference between the voltage outputs of the two
sensors is less than threshold, the ECM concludes that there is a defect in the accelerator pedal position
sensor. The ECM turns on the MIL and a DTC is set.
Example:
When the voltage output of the VPA below 0.2 V or exceeds 4.8 V.
FAIL SAFE
The accelerator pedal position sensor has two (main and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in ei-
ther of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between the two sensor
circuits and switches to limp mode. In limp mode, the remaining circuit is used to calculate the accelerator
pedal opening to allow the vehicle to continue driving.
If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the opening angle of the accelerator pedal to be fully closed.
In this case, the throttle valve will remain closed as if the engine is idling.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail-safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help deter-
mine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, as well as other data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
Hand-held tester:
1 Connect hand-held tester, and read the voltage for accelerator pedal position
sensor data.
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tes-
ter main switch ON.
(c) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED
OBD II / DATA LIST / ETCS / ACCEL POS #1 and ACCEL
POS #2.
CHECK:
Read the voltage for the accelerator pedal position sensor data.
OK:
