STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED 
  • Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.

Yes Go to Step 7.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT APP SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the APP sensor connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.

Yes Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between APP sensor terminal E and PCM terminal 2AS.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for continuity between APP sensor terminal D (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 2AT (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Replace the accelerator pedal, then go to the next step.
(See ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between APP sensor terminal D and PCM terminal 2AT.
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there Is no common connector: 
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to the next step.
