 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Idle Validation Circuit
|
Circuit Description
The idle validation switch is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to indicate when the accelerator pedal or lever 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 or lever position.
Component Location
The solid state sensor switch (SSS) is located on the accelerator pedal or lever assembly.
Shop Talk
- This fault code is usually caused by an open circuit on either the idle validation on-idle or off-idle signal circuits, a loose connection, uncalibrated accelerator pedal or lever assembly, or miswired idle validation switch.
- Since the solid state sensor switch (SSS) uses an integrated circuit to output idle and off-idle signals, the internal resistance can not be checked with a multimeter as it is for the integrated sensor switch and nonintegrated sensor switch.
- When installing a new accelerator pedal or lever 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.
