DTC P1121 ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR RANGE/PERFORMANCE PROBLEM

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

Accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket and it has 2 sensors to detects the accelerator position and a malfunction of the accelerator position's own.

The accelerator pedal position sensor is the voltage applied to the 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 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.

If this DTC is stored, the ECM shuts down the power for the throttle motor, and the throttle valve is fully closed by the return spring.

After confirming DTC P1120, use the OBD II scan tool or LEXUS hand-held tester to confirm the throttle valve opening percentage.
