ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR CHECK CHART

DTCs (1) Description (Indicator Lamp)
P1575 APP sensor out of self-test range
P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128 APP sensor circuit continuity test (powertrain malfunction indicator [wrench], non-MIL)
P2138 APP to APP signal correlation (powertrain malfunction indicator [wrench], non-MIL)
(1) Correlation and range/performance - sensor disagreement between processors internal to the PCM.

Monitor execution is continuous. Monitor false detection duration is less than 1 second to register a concern. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS AND DESCRIPTIONS for additional DTC information.
