TROUBLESHOOTING

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MPI)

13A-267

Code No. P2138: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (Main and Sub) Range/Performance Problem

OPERATION

• Refer to Code No. P2122: Accelerator Pedal

Position Sensor (main) Circuit Low Input

P.13A-248

.

• Refer to Code No. P2127: Accelerator Pedal

Position Sensor (sub) Circuit Low Input

P.13A-256

.

FUNCTION

• Engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

checks the accelerator pedal position sensor
output signal characteristics for abnormal
conditions.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

• Ignition switch is in ON position

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output

voltage is 0.2

− 4.5 V.

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) output

voltage is 0.2

− 4.5 V.

Judgment Criteria

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) output

voltage minus Accelerator pedal position sensor
(main) output voltage is 1 volt or higher for 1
second.

• Accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output

voltage minus Accelerator pedal position sensor
(sub) output voltage is 1 volt or higher for 0.2
seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Failed accelerator pedal position sensor

• Open/short circuit in accelerator pedal position

sensor circuit or loose connector contact

• Failed engine-ECU <M/T>

• Failed engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: C-102 accelerator
pedal position connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Repair or replace.

STEP 2. Perform resistance measurement at
C-102 accelerator pedal position sensor
connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Resistance between terminal No. 2 and earth.

OK: 2

Ω or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6 .

NO :

Go to Step 3 .

STEP 3. Connector check: C-113 engine-ECU
<M/T> connector or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Repair or replace.

STEP 4. Check harness between C-102 (terminal
No. 2) accelerator pedal position sensor
connector and C-113 (terminal No. 91)
engine-ECU <M/T> connector or engine-A/T-ECU
<A/T> connector.

• Check earthing line for damage.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 5 .

NO :

Repair.

STEP 5. Check the trouble symptoms

Q: Does trouble symptom persist?

YES :

Replace engine-ECU <M/T> or

engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).

STEP 6. Perform resistance measurement at
C-102 accelerator pedal position sensor
connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Resistance between terminal No. 5 and earth.

OK: 2

Ω or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9 .

NO :

Go to Step 7 .
