Component Description
ACCELERATOR WORK UNIT
The accelerator position sensor is installed on the upper end of the
accelerator pedal assembly. The sensor detects the accelerator
position and sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM uses the signal
to determine the amount of fuel to be injected.
The accelerator position switch is installed inside the accelerator
position sensor. This switch is used for plausibility check of the
accelerator position sensor.

DTC Confirmation Procedure A (For General
Plausibility)
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2) Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Depress accelerator pedal fully and keep it for at least 1 sec-
ond. Then release it and wait at least 5 seconds.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2) Depress accelerator pedal fully and keep it for at least 1 sec-ond. Then release it and wait at least 5 seconds.
3) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position, wait at least 5 seconds and then turn to ªONº position.
4) Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results)º with ECM.

DTC Confirmation Procedure B (For
Accelerator Sticking)
If DTC P0571 is displayed same time, cure it at first.
WITH CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2) Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Start engine and rev it up to above 1,300 rpm.
4) Depress brake pedal immediately after releasing acceleratorpedal and keep it at least 5 seconds.
WITHOUT CONSULT-II
1) Start engine and rev it up to above 1,300 rpm.
2) Depress brake pedal immediately after releasing acceleratorpedal and keep it at least 5 seconds.
3) Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position, wait at least 5 seconds and then turn to ªONº position.
4) Perform ªDiagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results)º with ECM.

Diagnostic Procedure
ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR
INSPECTION START
CHECK POWER SUPPLY.
1. Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position.
2. Disconnect accelerator work unit har- ness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
4. Check voltage between accelerator work unit connector terminal q
2and
engine ground with CONSULT-II or
tester.
Voltage: Approximately 5V
OK
ENG Check the following:
IHarness for open or
short-circuit between
ECM and accelerator
work unit.
If NG, repair harness or
connectors.
CHECK INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT.
1. Turn ignition switch to ªLOCKº position.
2. Loosen and retighten engine ground screws.
3. Check harness continuity between accelerator work unit connector termi-
nal q
4and ECM connector terminal
434. Refer to wiring diagram.
Continuity should exist.
If OK, check harness for short-circuit.
OK
ENG Check the following:
IHarness for open-circuit
between ECM and
accelerator work unit
If NG, repair harness or
connectors.
CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT.
1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal
425and accelerator
position sensor connector terminal q
3.
Refer to wiring diagram.
Continuity should exist.
If OK, check harness for short-circuit.
OK
ENG Repair harness or connec-
tors.
CHECK COMPONENT
(Accelerator position sensor).
Refer to ªCOMPONENT INSPECTIONº on
page EC-394.
OK
ENGReplace accelerator pedal
assembly.
Disconnect and reconnect harness con-
nectors in the circuit. Then retest.
Trouble is not fixed.
Check ECM pin terminals for damage and
check the connection of ECM harness
connector. Reconnect ECM harness con-
nector and retest.

ACCELERATOR POSITION SWITCH
The accelerator position switch detects OFF-accelerator switch sig-
nal and Full-accelerator switch signal and sends these signals to
the ECM. The ECM will then determine engine idle conditions.
These signals are also used for diagnosing the accelerator position
sensor.
INSPECTION START
CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION.
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position.
2. Select ªFULL ACCELL SWº and ªOFF ACCEL SWº in ªDATA MONITORº mode
with CONSULT-II.
3. Check ªFULL ACCEL SWº and ªOFF ACCEL SWº signal under the following
conditions.
OFF ACCEL SW:Accelerator pedal released
ÐON
Accelerator pedal depressed
Ð OFF
FULL ACCEL SW: Accelerator pedal fully depressed
ÐON
Without CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch to ªONº position. 2. Check voltage between ECM terminal
435
and body ground under the following condi-
tions:
Voltage: Accelerator pedal releasedApproximately 0V
Accelerator pedal fully depressed Approximately 5V
