I am not so sure this is a ground issue because that is not how the 5 volt system works. The control module grounds these circuits so there is not a traditional ground. I included the wiring diagram for the APP sensor. You will see the 5 volt reference wires and the signal wires. If you have 5 volts on the signal wires then that means the PCM is being told that the accelerator is at wide open.
So you should have just under 5 volts on the 5 volt reference wires and then the low reference is the difference between between that and 5 volts. So if you have 4.87 volts on the 5 volt wires then the low reference would be 0.13 volts. The signal wire is going to vary in voltage from.5 volts to 4.5 volts depending on how far the pedal is depressed. Does that make sense? If so, we really need to go through that testing from the last post and see what we turn up.
