Discussion:
When diagnosing Electronic Throttle Systems (ETC) systems for any Diagnostic Trouble Codes. (DTC's), specifically when conducting APS pedal sweep using a StarSCAN or DRBIII . Please note that there is an internal diagnostic the PCM performs on the ETC system. The PCM will drive the pedal sensor signal no. 2 to zero volts every 1/2 second as part of an internal diagnostic. Therefore, if this event is observed it should be considered a normal condition. Please do not mistake this condition as an intermittent sensor signal unless the following DTC's were detected P2127, P2116 or P2138.

Policy:    Information Only


I would like to thank Bob Bergevin, Arthur Cantrall, Barry Drodge, David Lovell, Bill Maurits, and Steve for supplying the information for these bulletins. And a big thank you goes to Geno's Garage for making DodgeRam.info possible.
