HINT:
These DTCs relate to the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor.
DESCRIPTION
HINT:
This ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) does not use a throttle cable.
The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor is integrated with the accelerator pedal bracket and has 2
sensor circuits: VPA (main) and VPA2 (sub). This sensor is a non-contact type, and uses Hall-effect
elements, in order to yield accurate signals, even in extreme driving conditions, such as at high speeds as
well as very low speeds. The voltage, which is applied to terminals VPA and VPA2 of the ECM, varies
between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the operating angle of the accelerator pedal (throttle valve). A signal
from VPA indicates the actual accelerator pedal opening angle (throttle valve opening angle) and is used
for engine control. A signal from VPA2 conveys the status of the VPA circuit and is used to check the APP
sensor itself.
The ECM monitors the actual accelerator pedal opening angle (throttle valve opening angle) through the
signals from VPA and VPA2, and controls the throttle actuator according to these signals.

HINT:
When any of these DTCs are set, check the APP sensor voltage by selecting the following menu items on
the intelligent tester: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / ACCEL POS #1 and
ACCEL POS #2.
HINT:
• Accelerator pedal positions are expressed as voltages.
• AP denotes Accelerator Pedal.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
When either of the voltage outputs of VPA or VPA2 deviates from the standard range, or the difference
between the voltage outputs of the 2 sensor circuits is less than the threshold, the ECM determines that
there is a malfunction in the APP sensor. The ECM then illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.
Example:
When the voltage output of VPA drops below 0.4 V for more than 0.5 seconds when the accelerator pedal
is fully depressed, DTC P2122 is set.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 2 seconds after the engine is next started.

• DTCs P2195 and P2196 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 1 A/F sensor circuit.
• DTCs P2197 and P2198 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 2 A/F sensor circuit.
• Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
• Bank 2 refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 2.
• When any of these DTCs are set, check the A/F sensor voltage output by selecting the following menu
items on the intelligent tester: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBDII / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / AFS B1S1.
• Short-term fuel trim values can also be read using the intelligent tester.
• The ECM regulates the voltages at the A1A+, A2A+, A1A- and A2A- terminals of the ECM to a
constant level. Therefore, the A/F sensor voltage output cannot be confirmed without using the
intelligent tester.
• If an A/F sensor malfunction is detected, the ECM sets a DTC.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Sensor voltage detection monitor
Under the air-fuel ratio feedback control, if the A/F sensor voltage output indicates rich or lean for a certain
period of time, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the A/F sensor. The ECM illuminates the
MIL and sets a DTC.
Example:
If the A/F sensor voltage output is less than 2.8 V (very rich condition) for 10 seconds, despite the HO2
sensor voltage output being less than 0.6 V, the ECM sets DTC P2196. Alternatively, if the A/F sensor
voltage output is more than 3.8 V (very lean condition) for 10 seconds, despite the HO2 sensor voltage
output being 0.15 V or more, DTC P2195 is set.
Sensor current detection monitor
A rich air-fuel mixture causes a low A/F sensor current, and a lean air-fuel mixture causes a high A/F
sensor current. Therefore, the sensor output becomes low during acceleration, and it becomes high
during deceleration with the throttle valve fully closed. The ECM monitors the A/F sensor current during
fuel-cut and detects any abnormal current values.
If the A/F sensor output is 3.6 mA or more for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM interprets
this as a malfunction in the A/F sensor and sets DTC P2195 (high-side stuck). If the A/F sensor output is
1.0 mA or less for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM sets DTC P2196 (low-side stuck).
