DTC P2121 Throttle / Pedal Position Sensor / Switch "D" Circuit Range / Performance


DESCRIPTION


HINT:
Refer to DTC P2120 (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000PFY0OVX_01.html).

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P2121
Either of following conditions 1 or 2 met for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic)
  1. Difference between VPA and VPA2 is less than 0.4 V, or more than 1.2 V. (learned value of accelerator off position)
  2. Difference between VPA and VPA2 is greater than or equal to the specified value.
  1. Accelerator pedal position sensor
  2. ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the difference between the output voltages of VPA and VPA2 deviates from the standard, the ECM determines that the accelerator pedal position sensor is malfunctioning. The ECM turns on the MIL and stores the DTC.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
  4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on [A].
  6. Wait for 5 seconds after turning the ignition switch to ON.
  7. Operate the accelerator pedal in accordance with the following procedure [B].
    1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Accel Sens. No. 1 Volt %, and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt %.
    2. Slowly depress the accelerator pedal until Accel Sens. No.1 Volt % is approximately 30% and Accel Sens. No.2 Volt % is approximately 46%, then slowly release the accelerator pedal.
  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [C].
  9. Read the pending DTCs.
    HINT:
    1. If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    2. If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
  11. Input the DTC: P2121.
  12. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Intelligent Tester Display
    Description
    NORMAL
    1. DTC judgment completed
    2. System normal
    ABNORMAL
    1. DTC judgment completed
    2. System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE
    1. DTC judgment not completed
    2. Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A
    1. Unable to perform DTC judgment
    2. Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
    HINT:
    1. If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    2. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    3. If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [B] through [C] again.

FAIL-SAFE

The accelerator pedal position 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 position to allow the vehicle to continue driving. If both circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being fully released. In this case, the throttle valve remains closed as if the engine were 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 normal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. This DTC relates to the accelerator pedal position sensor.
  2. 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 FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2121)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the intelligent tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:
    If any DTCs other than P2121 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
