DTC P060D: Internal Control Module Accelerator Pedal
Position Performance
Circuit/System Description
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system uses 2 accelerator pedal position
(APP) sensors to monitor the pedal position. Two processors are also used to monitor
the TAC system data. The engine control module (ECM) performs an intrusive test in
order to detect that the APP signals are not shorted together. The ECM accomplishes
this by pulling the APP sensor 2 low momentarily and looking for sensor 1
to also be low. The TAC system also performs this test on the throttle position (TP)
sensors. This diagnostic monitors the transistor used to pull one pedal and one throttle
sensor to ground simultaneously. Additionally both processors monitor each other's
data to verify that the indicated APP calculation is correct.
Conditions for Running the DTC
• | The system voltage is more than 5.23 volts. |
• | The ignition is in the Unlock/Accessory or Run position. |
• | DTCs P0601, P0602, P0604, P0606, P0607 or P1621 are not set. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The APP sensor 2 voltage is more than 2.05 volts for more than
0.3 second during the intrusive test.
OR
The APP sensor calculations in the main processor differ from the motor control
processor by more than 5 percent.
Action Taken when the DTC Sets
DTC P060D is a type A DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P060D is a type A DTC.

Circuit/System Testing
- Clear the DTCs with the scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions
for Running the DTC or within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure
Records.
- Ignition ON, use a scan tool to observe the DTCs.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the accelerator pedal connector. Make sure that
the pedal is at the rest position. Measure for more than 450 ohms from the
5 volt reference terminal of the accelerator pedal assembly to the APP sensor 2
signal terminal of the accelerator pedal assembly.
⇒ | If less than 450 ohms, replace the accelerator pedal assembly. |
- If the pedal test is normal, replace the ECM.
