DTC P060D: Internal Control Module Accelerator Pedal Position Performance Problem
 
 
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Compare the output value of the accelerator pedal position sensor (main) with that of the accelerator pedal position sensor (sub).
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous
 
 
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)
Other Monitor (There is no temporary DTC stored in memory for the item monitored below)
  • Not applicable
Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
  • Not applicable
 
 
DTC SET CONDITIONS
Logic Flow Chart
Check Condition
  • Change of accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) output voltage per 40 milliseconds is lower than 0.06 volt.
  • Range/performance error of accelerator pedal position sensor (main and sub) circuit is not detected.
Judgment Criterion
  • Voltage obtained with the formula given below is 0.4 volt or higher for 0.5 second: accelerator pedal position sensor (main) output voltage - accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) output voltage.
    noteThe accelerator pedal position sensor voltage used for the judgment is converted into the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage for the internal processing by the ECM.
 
 
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • Throttle opening degree position is in default position.
 
 
OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
  • None.
 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be stored are: )
  • Accelerator pedal position sensor failed.
  • ECM failed.
 
 
 
DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tool:
  • MB992744: Vehicle Communication Interface-Lite (V.C.I.-Lite)
  • MB992745: V.C.I.-Lite Main Harness A
  • MB992747: V.C.I.-Lite USB Cable Short
  • MB992748: V.C.I.-Lite USB Cable Long
  • MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
    • MB991824: Vehicles Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
    • MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
    • MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A (Vehicles with CAN communication system)
STEP 1. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
cautionTo prevent damage to scan tool (M.U.T.-III), always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool (M.U.T.-III).
(1) Connect scan tool (M.U.T.-III). Refer to HOW TO CONNECT THE SCAN TOOL (M.U.T.-III) .
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Read the DTC.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the diagnostic trouble code other than P060D stored?
Refer to, Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart .
Go to Step 2.
 
STEP 2. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check data list item 11: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Set scan tool (M.U.T-III) to the data reading mode for item 11, Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main).
  • Output voltage should be between 900 and 1,100 millivolts when foot is released from accelerator pedal.
  • Output voltage should be 4,000 millivolts or more when accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the sensor operating properly?
Go to Step 3.
Refer to, DTC P2122 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main) Circuit Low Input , DTC P2123 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (main) Circuit High Input .
 
STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), check data list item 12: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Set scan tool (M.U.T-III) to the data reading mode for item 12, Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub).
  • Output voltage should be between 400 and 600 millivolts when foot is released from accelerator pedal.
  • Output voltage should be 2,000 millivolts or more when accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is the sensor operating properly?
Go to Step 4.
Refer to, DTC P2127 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub) Circuit Low Input , DTC P2128 - Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (sub) Circuit High Input .
 
STEP 4. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is DTC P060D stored?
Replace the ECM (Refer to Removal and Installation ). Then go to Step 5.
It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions .
 
STEP 5. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-III), read the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) After the DTC has been deleted, read the DTC again.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Is DTC P060D stored?
Retry the troubleshooting.
The inspection is complete.
