Checking the status
- Ignition on.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by reading off the signals from the accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor.
Check that the value for both signals is approximately 8% when the accelerator pedal (AP) is unaffected and approximately 82% when the pedal is fully depressed.
The fault is permanent if the signal is incorrect. The fault is intermittent if the signal is correct.
Continue - Checking the component and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the component and wiring
Check the signal cable between Engine control module (ECM) #B25 (#B35) and accelerator pedal position sensor #2. Check the cable for short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate the read off of the signals from the accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor.
Check that the value for both signals is approximately 8% when the accelerator pedal (AP) is unaffected and approximately 82% when the pedal is fully depressed.
