The Electronic Throttle Control(ETC) system is made of the components throttle body, Throttle Position Sensor(TPS) 1&2 and Accelerator Position Sensor(APS) 1&2. The APS is mounted in the accelerator pedal to detect the opening angle of the accelerator pedal. It has 2 sensors to detect the accelerator position and a malfunction of the accelerator position sensor. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal from APS1&2, and the ECM controls the throttle motor based on these signals.
Checking output signals from APS 2 under detecting condition, if output signals are below the threshold, PCM sets P2127. And then MIL(Malfunction Indication Lamp) turns on.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC Strategy | ● This code detects a continuous short to ground or open in either the circuit or the sensor (0-100%) | ● Poor connection ● Open or short to ground in power circuit. ● Open or short to ground in signal circuit. ● Faulty APS ● Faulty PCM |
Enable Conditions | ● Ignition "ON" | |
Threshold value | ● APS2 < 0.125V | |
Diagnosis Time | ● Continuous | |
MIL On Condition | ● 1 Driving Cycle |
