Diagnostic Aids
Scan tester displays APP No. 2 position in volts and should display 4.5 volts with throttle closed and ignition on or engine at idle. Voltage should decrease at a steady rate as throttle is moved toward WOT.
Monitor APP No. 2 sensor while applying accelerator pedal with engine off and ignition on. Display should vary from about 4.5 volts with throttle closed, to about 1.5 volts with throttle at WOT. DTC 99 will set if a short to ground is present in 5-volt reference circuit.
