 Accelerator Pedal Idle Validation Circuit
|
Circuit Description
The idle validation switch is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to indicate when the accelerator pedal is released (on-idle) or depressed (off-idle). The switch is adjusted at the factory to switch from on-idle to off-idle at the correct accelerator pedal position.
Component Location
The nonintegrated sensor switch (NISS) is located on the accelerator pedal assembly.
Shop Talk
- This fault code is usually caused by a short circuit to ground in the harness, uncalibrated accelerator pedal assembly, or miswired idle validation switch.
- When installing a new accelerator pedal assembly, it must be calibrated before operating the engine. To calibrate, turn the keyswitch to the ON position and fully depress and release the pedal three times.
