DTC P1125
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1 and APP sensor 2 are potentiometer type sensors, each with the following circuits:
? A 5-volt reference circuit ? A low reference circuit
? A signal circuit
The control module provides the APP sensors a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensors then provide the control module signal voltages proportional to pedal movement. The APP
sensor 1 signal voltage is low at rest and increases as the pedal is depressed. The APP sensor 2 signal voltage is also low at rest and increases as the pedal is depressed. One APP sensor DTC will not cause
the Reduced Engine Power message to be displayed. Two APP sensor DTCs for the same sensor also will not cause the Reduced Engine Power message to be displayed. However, if two or more DTCs are
set involving more than one APP sensor, DTC P1125 will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P1125 Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) System
Conditions for Running the DTC
? DTCs P0606, P2108, U0107 are not set. ? The ignition is ON.
? The communications between the throttle actuator control (TAC) module and the powertrain control module (PCM) must be valid.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Two APP sensors are out of range, or both APP sensors disagree with each other.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
? The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
? The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Freeze Frame and/or the Failure Records.
? The control module commands the TAC system to operate in the Reduced Engine Power mode. ? A message center or an indicator displays Reduced Engine Power.
? Under certain conditions the control module commands the engine OFF.

DTC P2101
Circuit Description
The commanded throttle position, based on the accelerator pedal position (APP), is compared to the actual throttle position. The throttle position values should be within a calibrated range of each other.
The throttle actuator control (TAC) module monitors the commanded and actual throttle position. If the TAC module detects that the commanded and the actual throttle positions are not within a calibrated
range of each other, a message is sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) across serial data, and DTC P2101 is set.

DTC P2120
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 1 is a potentiometer type sensor with the following three circuits:
? A 5-volt reference circuit ? A low reference circuit
? A signal circuit
The control module provides the APP sensor a 5-volt reference circuit and a low reference circuit. The APP sensor then provides the control module a signal voltage proportional to pedal movement. The APP
sensor 1 signal voltage is low at rest and increases as the pedal is depressed. When the control module detects that the APP sensor 1 signal or the APP sensor 5-volt reference voltage is outside the
predetermined range, DTC P2120 sets.

The throttle body assembly contains the following components:
? The throttle blade
? The throttle actuator motor
? The throttle position (TP) sensor 1 and TP sensor 2 ? The throttle actuator control (TAC) module
The TAC system monitors the throttle position with 2 sensors. If the powertrain control module (PCM) receives a message from the TAC module that the throttle position, as indicated from TP sensor 1,
disagrees with the throttle position indicated from TP sensor 2, DTC P2135 will set.
