Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P2123

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics
Connector End View Reference: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) 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 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1 Voltage parameter with the accelerator pedal in the rest position with a scan tool.
Is the APP Sensor 1 Voltage parameter more than the specified value?
4.8 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 3 
3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  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 4  Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the accelerator pedal connector.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Observe the APP Sensor 1 Voltage parameter with a scan tool.
Is the APP Sensor 1 Voltage parameter more than the specified value?
0 V Go to Step 9  Go to Step 5 
5 Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit of APP sensor 1 to a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing .
Does the DMM indicate voltage within the specified range?
4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 6  Go to Step 7 
6 Measure the voltage from the 5-volt reference circuit to the low reference circuit of APP sensor 1 with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing .
Does the DMM indicate voltage within the specified range?
4.8-5.2 V Go to Step 15  Go to Step 8 
7 Test the APP sensor 1 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 10 
8 Test the APP sensor 1 low reference circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 12 
9 Test the APP sensor 1 signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 10 
10 Test for shorted terminals and for a poor connection at the APP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 11 
11 Test for shorted terminals 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 16  Go to Step 14 
12 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the APP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 13 
13 Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 16  Go to Step 14 
14 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 16  -
15 Replace the accelerator pedal assembly. Refer to Accelerator Pedal with Position Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 16  -

  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 17 
17 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
