DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

    1. Item 09: Accelerator pedal position sensor (main)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Connector check: D-202 accelerator pedal position sensor connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform voltage measurement at D-202 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.
OK: 4.9 - 5.1 V

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Connector check: D-215 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 5. Check harness between D-202 (terminal No. 1) accelerator pedal position sensor connector and D-215 (terminal No. 120) engine-ECU connector.
note Before checking harness, check intermediate connector D-111, and repair if necessary.

  • Check power supply line for open/short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

    1. Item 09: Accelerator pedal position sensor (main)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Replace the engine-ECU. When the engine-ECU is replaced, write the chassis number (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - How to Perform Chassis Number Writing ). After replacing the engine-ECU, register the injector identification code and learn fuel injection (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - What The Common Rail Engine Learns ).

STEP 7. Perform resistance measurement at D-202 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Resistance between terminal No. 2 and earth.
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 10.
Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Connector check: D-215 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?

    Go to Step 9.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 9. Check harness between D-202 (terminal No. 2) accelerator pedal position sensor connector and D-215 (terminal No. 122) engine-ECU connector.

  • Check earthing line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 10. Connector check: D-215 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 11.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 11. Perform voltage measurement at D-202 accelerator pedal position sensor connector.

  • Use special tool test harness (MB991658) to connect connector, and measure at pick-up harness.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 3 and earth.
OK: 0.7 - 1.3 V

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 15.
Go to Step 12.

STEP 12. Connector check: D-215 engine-ECU connector.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 13.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 13. Check harness between D-202 (terminal No. 3) accelerator pedal position sensor and D-215 (terminal No. 121) engine-ECU connector.

  • Check output line for short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 14.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 14. Check harness between D-202 (terminal No. 1) accelerator pedal position sensor connector and D-215 (terminal No. 120) engine-ECU connector.
note Before checking harness, check intermediate connector D-111, and repair if necessary.

  • Check power supply line for damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Replace the accelerator pedal assembly.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 15. Check harness between D-202 (terminal No. 3) accelerator pedal position sensor connector and D-215 (terminal No. 121) engine-ECU connector.

  • Check output line for open circuit and damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair the damaged harness wire.
