PWG Failsafe
If this input is defective, a fault code will be stored and the "Malfunction Indicator and/or EML" Light will be illuminated and only limited engine operation is possible.
There are two failure modes of the PWG.
- Failure Mode 1 occurs with a defect in one of the hall effect pedal position sensors. Maximum engine speed will be limited.
- Failure Mode 2 occurs with a defect in both of the hall effect pedal position sensors. Engine speed is limited to approximately 1300 RPM and further reduced to 1000 RPM when the brake pedal is depressed.
Operation of the PWG can be fully diagnosed by an approved diagnostic computer (ex. GT1, DISplus).
