G92527t4: CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEMAND SENSOR OUTPUT
1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
2. Measure the voltage between electrical connector PA1-6 and ground with the accelerator pedal released and with the accelerator pedal at full throttle.
3. Measure the voltage between electrical connector PA1-3 and ground with the accelerator pedal released and with the accelerator pedal at full throttle.

- Does the voltage vary between 0.3 volts and 5 volts?

-> Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G92527t7.

-> No
GO to Pinpoint Test G92527t5.

G92527t5: CARRY OUT AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR COMPONENT CHECK
1. Remove the accelerator pedal.
2. Measure the resistance between pin 1 and pin 6 of the accelerator pedal.
3. Measure the resistance between pin 2 and pin 3 of the accelerator pedal.

- Is the resistance between pin 1 and pin 6 between 546 and 1134 ohms, and between pin 2 and pin 3 between 975 and 2025 ohms?

-> Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G92527t6.

-> No
INSTALL a new accelerator pedal. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

G92527t6: CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEMAND SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Disconnect the ECM electrical connector EN16.
2. Measure the resistance between electrical connector PA1-6 and ground.
3. Measure the resistance between electrical connector PA1-3 and ground.

- Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

-> Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test G92527t7.

-> No
REPAIR the accelerator pedal demand sensor circuit from the ECM to the accelerator pedal. CLEAR the DTC. TEST system for normal operation.

G92527t7: CHECK THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEMAND SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
1. Disconnect the ECM electrical connector EN16 and the accelerator pedal electrical connector PA1.
2. Measure the resistance between EN16-103 and PA1-6.
3. Measure the resistance between EN16-102 and PA1-3.

- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

-> Yes
DIAGNOSE the electronic engine control system.

-> No
REPAIR the accelerator pedal demand sensor circuit from the ECM to the accelerator pedal. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
