Accelerator Pedal Module -GX2-, CHECKING

General Description

The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor -G79- and Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 -G185- are combined in one component and integrated into the Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-. They are used to detect the position of the accelerator pedal throughout the entire adjustment range. The Engine Control Module - J623- detects the driver's request from these signals and uses them to calculate the injection quantity and EPC Throttle valve operation.

The Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- contains the following components:

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor -G79-
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 -G185-

The Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- components cannot be serviced separately, and must be serviced as a unit.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Multimeter

CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 6 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 69 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 7 Accelerator Pedal Module -GX2-, CHECKING - 7 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 7 Accelerator Pedal Module -GX2-, CHECKING - 7 .
6	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 16 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 33 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 34 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 5 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 51 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 7 Accelerator Pedal Module -GX2-, CHECKING - 7 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 7 Accelerator Pedal Module -GX2-, CHECKING - 7 .
7	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. -- Does the original DTC return?	-- YES: CHECK: Engine Control Module -J623- harness connector for any damaged, pushed-out pins. REPAIR: As necessary. Clear the DTC's. Refer to . Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to . Return vehicle to Customer. If all electrical connections are OK: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to . Return vehicle to Customer. -- NO: Perform the diagnostic procedure for any DTC's. If no DTC's return the repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.
