Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference:  Engine Controls Schematics 
Connector End View Reference:  Powertrain Control Module Connector End Views  or  Engine Controls Connector End Views 
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2
  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Observe the APP Sensor 1 parameter with a scan tool.
Is the APP sensor 1 parameter less than the specified value?		 0.2 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 3 
3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
4 
  1. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit of the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1 and the sensor signal circuit.
  2. Observe the APP sensor 1 parameter on the scan tool.
 Is the APP sensor 1 voltage within the specified range?		 4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 8  Go to Step 5 
5 Connect a DMM between the 5-volt reference circuit of the APP sensor 1 and a good ground.
Is the measured voltage within the specified range?		 4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 7 
6 Test the APP sensor 1 signal circuit for the following conditions:
  • An open
  • A short to ground

Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
7 Test the 5-volt reference circuit of the APP sensor 1 for an open circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 9 
8 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the APP sensor 1. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 10 
9 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 12  Go to Step 11 
10 Replace the APP sensor 1. Refer to Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
11 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 12  -
12
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?		 - Go to Step 2  Go to Step 13 
13 Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool.
Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?		 - Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle System OK
