ACCEL. POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT

(OPEN/SHORT)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
HINT:
This is repair procedure of accelerator pedal position sensor.
This electrical throttle system is no used throttle cable.
This accelerator pedal position sensor is noncontact type.
The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted in the accelerator pedal to detect the opening angle of
the accelerator pedal. Since this sensor is electronically controlled with hall elements, accurate control and
reliability can be obtained. It have the 2 sensors to detect the accelerator position and a malfunction of the
accelerator position sensor.
In the accelerator pedal position sensor, the voltage applied to pedal terminals VPA and VPA2 of the ECM
changes between 0 V and 5 V, in proportion to the opening angle of the accelerator pedal. The VPA is a signal
to indicate the actual accelerator pedal opening angle which is used for the engine control, and the VPA2
is a signal to indicate the information about the opening angle which is used for detecting a malfunction.
The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from these signals input from terminals
VPA and VPA2 and, the ECM controls the throttle motor based on these signals.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the handheld tester, as freeze frame records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running
or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

When using Handheld Tester:

1

READ VALUE OF HANDHELD TESTER(ACCEL POS #1 AND ACCEL POS #2)

(a)
(b)

Turn the ignition switch ON.

Select the item DIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA
LIST/ETCS/ACCEL POS #1 and ACCEL POS #2 and
read its value displayed on the handheld tester.
