On-board diagnosis
Type of diagnosis:
Enable criteria:
| The following diagnostic trouble codes may not be generated: |
Fault criteria:
| When the voltage difference between pedal position sensor 1 and 2 is 8 - 10% depending on pedal position (8% released pedal, 10% fully engaged pedal). |
| When the voltage for both sensors exceeds 5% of the learnt minimum value. |
System reaction to a fault:
OK report:
| Fault criteria NOT fulfilled. |
Fault handling:
| (See section Fault handling III, "Other emission-related components and functions" for more information.) |
Checking the wiring harness
Move the wiring harness at several spots and in several directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short-circuits. Check switches, connectors and crimp connections for oxidation, retracted pins and pin clamping force.
