STEP 5. Check for harness damage between accelerator 
pedal position sensor connector D-138 (terminal No. 1) and 
PCM connector D-135 (terminal No. 91).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 17.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991502, read the diagnostic 
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P2138 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 17.
NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

STEP 7. Check the continuity at accelerator pedal position 
sensor harness side connector D-138.
(1) Disconnect the connector D-138 and measure at the 

harness side.

(2) Measure the continuity between terminal No. 7 and ground.

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Is the continuity normal?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO :  Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check connector D-135 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 17.
