DTC P2121 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "D" Circuit Range / Performance |
DESCRIPTION
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- Refer to DTC P2120 (see page RAV4_ACA30 RM000000PFY01DX.html).
DTC No.
| DTC Detection Condition
| Trouble Area
|
P2121
| Difference between VPA and VPA2 less than 0.4 V, or more than 1.2 V for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic)
| - Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor
- ECM
|
FAIL-SAFE
The APP sensor has two (main and sub) sensor circuits. If a malfunction occurs in either of the sensor circuits, the ECM detects the abnormal signal voltage difference between the two sensor circuits and switches to limp mode. In limp mode, the functioning circuit is used to calculate the accelerator pedal opening angle to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the opening angle of the accelerator pedal as being fully closed. In this case, the throttle valve remains closed as if the engine is idling. If a pass condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned off, the fail-safe operation stops and the system returns to a normal condition.

Refer to DTC P2120 (see page RAV4_ACA30 RM000000PFY01DX_08.html).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2121) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read DTCs.

- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- If any DTCs other than P2121 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
2.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACCELERATOR POSITION NO.1 AND ACCELERATOR POSITION NO.2) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Accelerator Position No.1 and Accelerator Position No.2.
Read the values displayed on the tester.

3.REPLACE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ROD ASSEMBLY |
4.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2121) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
Clear DTCs (see page RAV4_ACA30 RM000000PDK013X.html).
Start the engine.
Allow the engine to idle for 15 seconds.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read DTCs.
