P2122 – Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main) Circuit Low Input MMC L200 IV

 Posted by  Posted on September 29, 2020

OPERATION

  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the accelerator pedal position sensor (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 149).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 151) from the accelerator pedal position sensor (terminal No. 2).
  • The sensor signal is input to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 150) from the accelerator pedal position sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3).

    • FUNCTION

  • The accelerator pedal position sensor (main) outputs voltage which corresponds to the accelerator pedal depression.
  • The engine-ECU checks whether the voltage is within a specified range.

    • TROUBLE JUDGEMENT

  • Ignition switch is in “ON” position
  • Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) is normal
  • Accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output voltage is lower than 0.2 V for 0.3 seconds.

    • PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Failed accelerator pedal position sensor
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in accelerator pedal position sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU

    • DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
