PCM connector D-135 (terminal No. 91).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991502, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is DTC P2121 set?

STEP 7. Check the accelerator pedal position switch.
(1) Disconnect the accelerator pedal position switch connector

D-138.

(2) Check the continuity between accelerator pedal position

switch side connector terminal No. 4 and No. 5.

Standard value:

Continuity (foot released from accelerator pedal)
Non-continuity (accelerator pedal depressed)

Q: Is the switch operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO : Replace the accelerator pedal position sensor. Then

go to Step 11.

STEP 8. Check connector D-133 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?
