DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991502, check data list item 01: 
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor.

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) Set scan tool MB991502 to data reading mode for item 01, 

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 

− Active trac 4WD II.

• With the throttle valve in idle position, voltage should 

measure between 905 and 1,165 mV.

• With the throttle valve in full-open position, voltage 

should measure between 4,035 mV or more.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 905 and 1,165 mV at 

idle, and between 4,035 mV or more in the full-open 
position?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/
Inspection Service Points 

− How to Cope with 

Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-6

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991502, read the MFI 
diagnostic trouble code.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check for MFI diagnostic trouble code.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are MFI DTCS P2126, P2127, P2128 set?

YES : Refer to GROUP 13A, Diagnosis 

− Diagnostic 

Trouble Code Chart 

P.13Ab-22

.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Measure the accelerator pedal position sensor 
output voltage at transfer-ECU connector E-109 by 
backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect connector E-109.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 5 and ground by 

backprobing.

• With the throttle valve in idle position, voltage should 

measure between 0.905 and 1.165 volts.

• With the throttle valve in full-open position, voltage 

should measure between 4.035 volts or more.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the measured voltage between 0.535 and 0.735volt at 

idle, and between 4.5 and 5.5 volts in the full-open 
position?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check transfer-ECU connector E-109 and 
intermediate connector E-114 for loose, corroded or 
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector.
Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to 

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

.

STEP 5. Check harness for open circuit or damage 
between accelerator pedal position sensor connector D-
138 terminal 6 and transfer-ECU connector E-109 terminal 
5.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Repair or replace the harness wire.
