Component Description

NBS00265

The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end
of the accelerator pedal assembly. The sensor detects the accelera-
tor position and sends a signal to the ECM.
Accelerator pedal position sensor has two sensors. These sensors
are a kind of potentiometers which transform the accelerator pedal
position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM.
In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of
the accelerator pedal and feed the voltage signals to the ECM. The
ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from
these signals and controls the throttle control motor based on these
signals.
Idle position of the accelerator pedal is determined by the ECM
receiving the signal from the accelerator pedal position sensor. The ECM uses this signal for the engine oper-
ation such as fuel cut.

CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor Mode

NBS00266

Specification data are reference values.

*: Accelerator pedal position sensor 2 signal is converted by ECM internally. Thus, it differs from ECM terminal voltage.

On Board Diagnosis Logic

NBS00267

These self-diagnoses have the one trip detection logic.

FAIL-SAFE MODE

When the malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up.

Possible cause

P2127
2127

Accelerator pedal posi-
tion sensor 2 circuit low 
input

An excessively low voltage from the APP sen-
sor 2 is sent to ECM.

●

Harness or connectors
(APP sensor 2 circuit is open or 
shorted.)
(TP sensor circuit is shorted.)

●

Accelerator pedal position sensor
(Accelerator pedal position sensor 2)

●

Electric throttle control actuator
(TP sensor 1 and 2)

P2128
2128

Accelerator pedal posi-
tion sensor 2 circuit high 
input

An excessively high voltage from the APP sen-
sor 2 is sent to ECM.

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode

The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 
degrees.
The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition.
So, the acceleration will be poor.
