  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    APP SENSOR A Less than 0.2 V    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    APP sensor 6P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit VCC3, SG3
    Test point 1 APP sensor 6P connector No. 4 (RED)

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 6.

  3. Shorted wire check (APS1 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P)

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the APS1 wire between the PCM (A45) and the APP sensor, then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    The APS1 wire is not shorted. Go to step 4.

  4. Open wire check (APS1 line)

    -1. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A APP sensor 6P connector No. 6 (GRY)
    Terminal B Body ground

    -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
      APP sensor 6P connector No. 6: jumped to body ground
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit APS1
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (51P) No. 45 (GRY)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The APS1 wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the APS1 wire between the PCM (A45) and the APP sensor, then do the repair verification.

  5. PCM internal circuit check

    -1. Remove the jumper wire from the APP sensor 6P connector.

    -2. Reconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P)

    -3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A APP sensor 6P connector No. 4 (RED)
    Terminal B APP sensor 6P connector No. 6 (GRY)

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Threshold Current conditions
    Values Unit Values Unit
    APP SENSOR A Less than 0.2 V    

    Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

    YES 

    Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then do the repair verification.

    NO 

    Replace the APP sensor , then do the repair verification.

  6. Open wire check (VCC3 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector A (51P)

    -4. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A APP sensor 6P connector No. 4 (RED)
    Terminal B Body ground

    -5. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      APP sensor 6P connector: disconnected
      APP sensor 6P connector No. 4: jumped to body ground
      PCM connector A (51P): disconnected
    Test circuit VCC3
    Test point 1 PCM connector A (51P) No. 41 (RED)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH345212Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES

    DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
    P2122 APP Sensor A (TP Sensor D) Circuit Low Voltage      

    DTC (PGM-FI)

    Is DTC P2122 indicated?

    YES 

    Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the APP sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

    NO 

    Troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM . If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
