MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-926

STEP 7. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 77:
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

77, Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).

• Output voltage is between 0.435 and 1.035 volts when

foot is released from accelerator pedal.

• Output voltage is 3.7 volts or higher when accelerator

pedal is fully depressed.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK"(OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

− How to

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-14

.

NO : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Using scan tool MB991958, read the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC).
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 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 P2128 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

DTC P2135: Throttle Position Sensor (main and sub) Range/Performance Problem

CAUTION

If DTC P2135 has been set, TCL related DTC
U1120 is also set. After P2135 has been diag-
nosed, don't forget to erase DTC U1120.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• PCM checks the throttle position sensor output

signal characteristics for abnormal conditions.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Detect malfunction if the relation between throttle

position sensor (main) and throttle position sen-
sor (sub) is wrong.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

DTC SET CONDITIONS <Range/Performance problem-relation between main and
sub>

Logic Flow Chart

Check Conditions

• Ignition switch is "ON" position.

• Throttle position sensor (main) output voltage is

between 0.35 and 2.5 volts.

• Throttle position sensor (sub) output voltage is

between 2.25 and 4.8 volts.

Judgement Criteria

• Voltage obtained with the formula given below is

0.3 volt or higher for 0.5 second: throttle position
sensor (main) output voltage

− [throttle position
