DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC
P2126 APP Sensor B (TP Sensor E) Out of Range

Is DTC P2126 indicated?


	YES

The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.


	NO

Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the APP sensor and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot.?

2.

Determine possible failure area (APS2 line, others):

Determine possible failure area (APS2 line, others)

?1.	Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.

Disconnect the following connector.

	NO

The APS2 wire is not shorted. Go to step 7.

7.

Open wire check (APS2 line):

Open wire check (APS2 line)

?1.

Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

8.

APP sensor check:

APP sensor check

?1.	Substitute a known-good accelerator pedal module.

?2.	Reconnect all connectors.

?3.	Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

?4.	Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?5.	Clear the DTC with the HDS.

?6.	Wait 10 seconds or more.

?7.

Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC
P2126 APP Sensor B (TP Sensor E) Out of Range

Is DTC P2126 indicated?


	YES

The APP sensor is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P2126 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?


	NO

Replace the original accelerator pedal module.?
