Circuit/System Description
|
The accelerator pedal assembly contains two accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors. The APP sensors are mounted in the accelerator pedal assembly and are not serviceable. The APP sensors provide a signal voltage that changes relative to the accelerator pedal's position. The engine control module (ECM) supplies a separate 5-volt reference and low reference circuit for each of the APP sensors.
The APP sensor 1 signal voltage increases as the pedal is depressed, from approximately 1.0 volt at rest to approximately 4 volts when fully depressed. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage increases as the pedal is depressed, from approximately 0.5 volt at rest to approximately 2 volts with the accelerator pedal fully depressed.

|
•
|
DTC P2138 sets if any of the above conditions exist for greater than 1 s or for a cumulative time of 4 s.
|
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
|
DTCs P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, and P2138 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
|
DTCs P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, and P2138 are Type A DTCs.
Test the current output of the 5-volt reference circuits if you suspect high resistance in the circuit. The current output should be greater than 80 mA for APP 1 and greater than 50 mA for APP 2.

Circuit/System Verification
|
1.
|
Ignition ON, check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information with a scan tool. DTC P0651, P0652, P0653, P0697, P0698, or P0699 should not be set.
|
3.
|
Observe the scan tool APP Sensor voltage parameters. Verify both of the APP sensor voltages are between 0.4-4.5 V.
|
4.
|
Rapidly depress the accelerator pedal from the rest position to the wide open throttle position (WOT) and release pedal. Repeat the procedure several times. DTC P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, or P2138 should not set.
|
5.
|
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to WOT and then slowly return the pedal to closed throttle. Repeat the procedure several times. DTC P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, or P2138 should not set.
|
6.
|
Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
|
1.
|
Disconnect the harness connector at the B107 accelerator pedal assembly.
|
2.
|
Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the appropriate low reference circuit listed below and ground.

|
3.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage, or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
|
4.
|
Note
|
The 5-volt reference circuit voltage can be within the specified range with a high resistance in the circuit. If this condition is suspected, refer to Diagnostic Aids.
|
Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 V between the appropriate 5-volt reference circuit listed below and ground.

|
7.
|
Check the scan tool APP sensor 1 voltage parameter. Check that the voltage is less than 0.3 V.
|

9.
|
Check the scan tool APP sensor 2 voltage parameter. Check that the voltage is less than 0.3 V.
|

|
If higher than the specified range, test the signal circuit's pin 6 for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
|
11.
