DTC P2127

DTC P2127  : APP Sensor B (TP Sensor E) Circuit Low Voltage

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information .

DTC (PGM-FI)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -2. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   APP SENSOR B	Less than 0.2	V

   Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the APP sensor and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot .

2. Determine possible failure area (VCC5 line, others)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   APP sensor 6P connector

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	APP sensor 6P connector No. 1
   Test point 2	APP sensor 6P connector No. 2

   Is there about 5.0 V?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Go to step 6.

3. Shorted wire check (APS2 line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

   -3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (51P)

   -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	APP sensor 6P connector No. 3
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the APS2 wire between the PCM (A29) and the APP sensor.

   NO 

   The APS2 wire is not shorted. Go to step 4.

4. Open wire check (APS2 line)

   -1. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	APP sensor 6P connector No. 3
   Terminal B	Body ground

   -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
   	APP sensor 6P connector No. 3: jumped to body ground
   	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	PCM connector A (51P) No. 29
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The APS2 wire is OK. Go to step 5.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the APS2 wire between the PCM (A29) and the APP sensor.

5. PCM internal circuit check

   -1. Reconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (51P)

   -2. Remove the jumper wire from the APP sensor 6P connector.

   -3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	APP sensor 6P connector No. 1
   Terminal B	APP sensor 6P connector No. 3

   -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -5. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   APP SENSOR B	Less than 0.2	V

   Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P2127 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P2127 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

   NO 

   Replace the APP sensor .

6. Open wire check (VCC5 line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

   -3. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector A (51P)

   -4. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	APP sensor 6P connector No. 1
   Terminal B	Body ground

   Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

   -5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
   	APP sensor 6P connector No. 1: jumped to body ground
   	PCM connector A (51P): disconnected

   Test point 1	PCM connector A (51P) No. 37
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   The VCC5 wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P2127 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P2127 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the VCC5 wire between the PCM (A37) and the APP sensor.
