Code said the voltage is low at APP sensor. What pin does the five volts appear on the sensor and where does it originate?

Good morning.

Check the orange wire at the throttle position sensor at the throttle body for 5 volts. Check at the pedal sensor for the same.
The voltages originates at the pcm.
