Checking the status

Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by reading off the signals from the accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor.

Check that the value for both signals is approximately 8% when the accelerator pedal (AP) is unaffected and approximately 82% when the pedal is fully depressed.

The fault is permanent if the signal is incorrect. The fault is intermittent if the signal is correct.
