Dodge Caliber. Manual - part 890

P2299-BRAKE PEDAL POSITION / ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION
INCOMPATIBLE

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

•

When Monitored:
With the ignition on and no brake or APPS DTCs present.

•

Set Condition:
The PCM detects that the Brake Switch and the Accelerator Pedal are both pressed for a calculated amount
of time. One trip fault and the code will be set within 5 seconds. ETC light will illuminate, the light will only stay
illuminated while DTC is active.

Possible Causes

INTERMITTENT DTC

BRAKE SWITCH AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME

STOP LAMP SWITCH

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

Diagnostic Test

DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: If a accelerator pedal assembly becomes mechanically stuck, the output voltage will stay fixed. If
this is followed by a long application of the brakes, this DTC will set.

NOTE: Diagnose any stop lamp switch or APPS DTCs before continuing with this test.

NOTE: This DTC will set if the PCM detects that the accelerator pedal and the brake switch are both pressed
for a specific amount of time.
With a scan tool, select View DTCs. Record the related Freeze Frame data.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

>> Go To 2

>> Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

STOP LAMP SWITCH

With a scan tool, monitor the status of brake switch 1 and brake switch 2.

Pressed and release the brake pedal.

NOTE: The status for each switch should change from Not Pressed to Pressed when the brake switch is
pressed.

Does the status change as described above?

Yes

>> Go To 3

>> Check the Stop Lamp Switch for proper adjustment and installation. Check all related circuits for an

open or shorted condition using the appropriate wiring diagram. If no other problems are found, replace
the Stop Lamp Switch in accordance with the Service Information.

Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, monitor both APP Sensor voltage readings.

Slowly press the accelerator pedal from idle until it reaches the end stop near the floor.

The APPS 1 voltage should start at approximately 0.875 volts and increase to approximately 4.5 volts with a smooth
transition.

The APPS 2 voltage should start at approximately 0.45 volts and increase to approximately 2.3 volts with a smooth
transition.

Does the sensor voltage change as described above when the accelerator pedal was pressed.

Yes

Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 -

ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

>> Check the appropriate APPS circuits for an open and shorted condition. If no problems are found,

replace the APP Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. After installation, with a
scan tool, perform the ETC RELEARN function.

Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

P2301-IGNITION COIL 1 CIRCUIT HIGH

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W

ENGINE ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS - GPEC

9 - 849

•

When Monitored:
With the engine running and battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts.

•

Set Condition:
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the (K19) Coil 1 Control circuit is shorted high.

Possible Causes

INTERMITTENT DTC

(K19) COIL 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

(K19) COIL 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K344) FUSED MAIN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT

(K19) COIL 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

IGNITION COIL 1

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

Diagnostic Test

DTC IS ACTIVE

Ignition on, engine not running.

With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands
near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
personal injury or death.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

>> Go to 2

>> Refer to the *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

(K19) COIL 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the Ignition Coil 1 connector.

Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector.

Turn the ignition on.

Measure the voltage of the (K19) Coil 1 Control circuit in the Ignition
Coil 1 harness connector.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

>> Repair the (K19) Coil 1 Control circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform the PCM Verification Test Ver. 1 (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
