The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts for the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1.
The ignition is ON.
• | The circuit voltage is more than 5.5 volts. |
• | The circuit voltage is less than 4.5 volts. |
• | The above conditions are met for 0.7 seconds. |
The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Inspect for the following conditions:
• | A poor connection at the ECM connector |
• | A poor connection at the battery connector |
• | A harness short |
• | A defect at the sensor |

The engine control module (ECM) provides a 5-volt reference to the following sensors:
• | The accelerator pedal position sensor |
• | The power take off (PTO) accelerator position sensor |
• | The oil pressure sensor |
• | Boost sensor |
• | The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) position sensor |
• | The variable nozzle turbo (VNT) position sensor |
• | The fuel rail pressure sensor |
The 5-volt reference circuits are independent of each other outside the ECM, but are bussed together inside the ECM. Therefore, a circuit condition on one sensor 5-volt reference circuit may affect the sensor 5-volt reference 1 circuits. The ECM monitors the voltage on the 5-volt reference 1 circuit. If the ECM detects that the voltage is out of tolerance, this DTC will set.
• | The ignition switch is ON. |
• | The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts. |
The 5-volt reference circuit 1 voltage is more than 5.5 volts or less than 4.5 volts.
• | The ECM limits fuel injection quantity for fail-safe operation. |
• | The ECM limits fuel pressure for fail-safe operation. |
• | The ECM closes the EGR valve and holds it in the closed position. |
• | The PTO control is inhibited. |
• | The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and reduced engine power indicator lamp, if fitted, when the diagnostic runs and fails. |
• | The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records. |
• | The ECM inhibits the cruise control. |
• | The MIL resets when the ignition is turned OFF. |
• | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
• | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
