Signal Too Low - Intermittent Fault

ECM-9530 ACCELERATOR PEDAL (AP) POSITION SENSOR, FAULTY SIGNAL
SIGNAL TOO LOW - INTERMITTENT FAULT

Checking wiring and connectors



Check connector for intermittent contact resistance according to and intermittent loose connections according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults

Check cable between Engine Control Module (ECM) # B17 (# B27) and accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor # 5 for an intermittent short-circuit to ground according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults and for an intermittent open-circuit according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults

Check cable between Engine Control Module (ECM) # B9 (# B19) and accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor # 6 for an intermittent open-circuit according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults

Check cable between engine control module (ECM) # B5 (# B15) and accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor # 4 for an intermittent open-circuit according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Intermittent Faults

- Accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor # 5 transmits an analog signal that varies between approximately 0.45V and approximately 4.5V depending on accelerator pedal (AP) position.
- Accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor # 6 is power supply (5V)
- Accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor # 4 is a signal ground.

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
