Circuit Description
Sensor supply 4 of the electronic control module (ECM) provides a 5 VDC supply to the accelerator pedal position sensor. The accelerator position sensor is a hall effect sensor attached to the accelerator pedal. The accelerator position sensor varies the signal voltage to the ECM as the accelerator pedal is depressed and released. Low signal voltage is received by the ECM when the accelerator pedal is at 0 percent. A high signal voltage is received by the ECM when the accelerator pedal is at 100 percent. The accelerator pedal position circuit contains an accelerator pedal position 5 VDC supply, accelerator pedal position return, and accelerator pedal position signal.
Component Location
The accelerator pedal assembly is located in the cab. Refer to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service manual.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The ECM detects that the sensor supply 4 signal voltage is more than 5.25-VDC for more than 1 second.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light and/or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
The engine will only idle.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE light after the diagnostic runs and passes.
For On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) engines, the ECM will turn off the MIL after three consecutive trips where the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ?Reset All Faults? command in INSITE? electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults, as well as extinguish the MIL for OBD applications
Shop Talk
This fault code can be caused by a short circuit to a voltage source in the OEM harness or a short circuit to an actuator signal circuit that is greater than 5-VDC.
Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.
For intermittent power supply and datalink communication issues with Aftertreatment Components, it is highly recommended that the OEM Power Distribution Center fuses and relays be thoroughly checked for loose, missing or intermittent connections.
Possible Cause:
1) OEM Harness
2) ECM calibration
