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.

When any of DTCs P2120, P2121, P2122, P2123, P2125, P2127, P2128 and P2138 are set, the ECM
enters fail-safe mode. If either of the 2 sensor circuits malfunctions, the ECM uses the remaining circuit to
calculate the accelerator pedal position to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both of the circuits
malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is
closed and the engine idles.
Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected, and the ignition switch is turned off.
Either of the following conditions is met Condition A or B

HINT:
This DTC relates to the Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor.
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P2120 (See page ES-343).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket. The accelerator pedal
position sensor has 2 sensor elements and 2 signal outputs: VPA and VPA2. VPA is used to detect the
actual accelerator pedal angle (used for engine control) and VPA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VPA.
When the difference between the voltage outputs of VPA and VPA2 deviates from the standard, the ECM
determines that the accelerator pedal position sensor is malfunctioning. The ECM turns on the MIL and
the DTC is set.
MONITOR STRATEGY
TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS
TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS
FAIL-SAFE
The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 (main and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in
either of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between the 2 sensor
circuits and switches to limp mode. In limp mode, the functioning circuit is used to calculate the
accelerator pedal opening angle to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both circuits malfunction, the
ECM regards the opening angle of the accelerator pedal as being fully closed. In this case, the throttle
valve remains closed as if the engine is idling.

HINT:
• If the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at
approximately 3.3 V (see Malfunction Condition
diagram) under any conditions, including those
described on the previous page, the A/F sensor
may have an open circuit. (This will also happen
if the A/F sensor heater has an open circuit.)
• If the output voltage of the A/F sensor remains at
either approximately 3.8 V or more, or 2.8 V or
less (see Malfunction Condition diagram) under
any conditions, including those described on the
previous page, the A/F sensor may have a short
circuit.
• The ECM stops fuel injection (fuel cut) during
engine deceleration. This causes a lean
condition and results in a momentary increase in
the A/F sensor output voltage.
• The ECM must establish a closed throttle valve
position learning value to perform fuel cut. If the
battery terminal has been reconnected, the
vehicle must be driven over 10 mph (16 km/h) to
allow the ECM to learn the closed throttle valve
position.
• When the vehicle is driven:
The output voltage of the A/F sensor may be
below 2.8 V during fuel enrichment. For the
vehicle, this translates to a sudden increase in
speed with the accelerator pedal fully depressed
when trying to overtake another vehicle. The A/F
sensor is functioning normally.
