DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
P21201C | Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "D" Circuit Voltage Out of Range | Difference between VPA and VPA2 is greater than or equal to the specified value for 0.5 seconds (1 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2121 |
P212099 | Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "D" Exceeded Learning Limit | Difference between VPA and VPA2 is less than 0.4 V, or higher than 1.2 V (learned value of accelerator off position) (1 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P2121 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The accelerator pedal position sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal bracket. The accelerator pedal position sensor has 2 sensor elements and 2 signal outputs: VPA and VPA2. VPA is used to detect the actual accelerator pedal angle (used for engine control) and VPA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VPA. 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, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

All of the following conditions are met | - |

FAIL-SAFE
When DTC P212012, P212014, P21201C, P21201F, P212099, P212512, P212514, P21251F or P21382B is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. If either of the 2 sensor circuits malfunctions, the ECM limits the engine output. If both of the circuits malfunction, the ECM regards the accelerator pedal as being released. As a result, the throttle valve is closed and the engine idles.
If a pass condition is detected and then the engine switch is turned off, the fail-safe operation stops and the system returns to normal.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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.
PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P21201C AND/OR P212099) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
DTC P21201C and/or P212099 are output | A |
DTC P21201C and/or P212099 and other DTCs are output | B |
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P21201C and/or P212099 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
