APP SENSOR
(Throttle/Pedal position
sensor/switch “D” / “E”
voltage correlation)

Rationally incorrect voltage is sent to ECM
compared with the signals from APP sensor
1 and APP sensor 2.

• Harness or connector

(APP sensor 1 or 2 circuit is open or
shorted.)

• Accelerator pedal position sensor

(APP sensor 1 or 2)

• Sensor power supply 2 circuit
