Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR RELATED DTCS
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU) DTCs.
Are there any System Voltage, or Sensor Reference Voltage DTCs present?
Yes
- Refer to the DTC INDEX - 500E and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
No
- Go To 2
- CHECK IF THE DTC IS ACTIVE
- With the vehicle in park, slowly press and release the accelerator pedal.
- With the scan tool, read EVCU DTCs.
Is the status for this DTC Active?

- Go To 3
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK THE (F858) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage of the (F858) 5-Volt Supply circuit in the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?
Yes
- Repair the (F858) 5-Volt Supply circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE (K29) APP SENSOR SIGNAL 2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- With the scan tool, read the Accelerator Pedal Sensor 2 voltage.
Is the voltage below 0.1 volt?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (K29) APP Sensor Signal 2 circuit for a short to voltage
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- With the scan tool, read the Accelerator Pedal Sensor 2 voltage.
- CHECK THE (K400) APP SENSOR 2 GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off. Remove the key from the Ignition Switch, close doors and allow the EVCU to shut down.NOTE:
Allow up to two minutes for the EVCU to shut down. Opening the vehicle door will interrupt the shut down process.
- Disconnect the EVCU C1 harness connector
- Measure the resistance of the (K400) APP Sensor 2 Ground circuit between the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor harness connector and the EVCU C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 1.0 Ohm?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (K400) APP Sensor 2 Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Turn the ignition off. Remove the key from the Ignition Switch, close doors and allow the EVCU to shut down.
- ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR
- Replace the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to PEDAL, ACCELERATOR, REMOVAL .
- Reconnect all previously disconnected harness connectors.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, erase EVCU DTCs.
- With the scan tool, perform the Accelerator Pedal Learn procedure. Follow the instructions on the scan tool.
- Turn the ignition off. Remove the key from the Ignition Switch, close doors and allow the EVCU to shut down.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the vehicle in park, slowly press and release the accelerator pedal.
- With the scan tool read EVCU DTCs.
Does this DTC reset?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONTROL UNIT (EVCU)
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor and the Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU).
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
- Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
- Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Replace and program the Electric Vehicle Control Unit (EVCU) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to UNIT, ELECTRIC VEHICLE CONTROL (EVCU), REMOVAL .
- Perform the EVCU VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
