WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P2120 (Click here).INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).
- After replacing the fuel supply pump assembly, the ECM needs initialization (Click here).
- After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration (Click here).
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.READ VALUE USING GTS (ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR) |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Data List / Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %.
Read the values.
- Standard:
Accelerator Pedal Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % Accel Sens. No.2 Volt % Released 10 to 22% 24 to 40% Depressed 52 to 90% 68 to 99%
