DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E108, M15
- Harness for open or short between ECM and accelerator pedal position sensor
  >> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
CHECK APP SENSOR 1 GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between APP sensor terminal 2 and ECM terminal 82.
  Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
  
  Continuity should exist.
4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG

OK: GO TO 6.

NG: GO TO 5.
DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
