DTC P2138 THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH “D”/“E” VOLTAGE CORRELATION

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:

Immediately at fault recognition

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode and Inspection Mode .

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

Improper idling

Poor driving performance

WIRING DIAGRAM:

STEPCHECKYESNO

1.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT.

1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

2) Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

Main accelerator pedal position sensor signal

(B135) No. 39 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal

(B135) No. 28 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the difference between the measured value of main accelerator pedal position sensor signal and the measured value of sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal 0 V?

2.CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR OUTPUT.

1) Measure the voltage between accelerator pedal position sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B315) No. 6 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

(B315) No. 3 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the difference between the measured value of main accelerator pedal position sensor signal and the measured value of sub accelerator pedal position sensor signal 0 V?

Replace the accelerator pedal.

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

Short circuit to ground in harness between ECM connector and accelerator pedal position sensor connector

3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.

Check the resistance of harness between the accelerator pedal position sensor connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B315) No. 5 — Chassis ground:

(B315) No. 2 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE:

In this case, repair the following item:

Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and engine ground

Poor contact of coupling connector
