The accelerator pedal does not reach position fully released
• Check for obstacles disturbing the pedal motion • Check accelerator pedal mechanism - linkage between sensor and pedal arm - pedal return spring • Check connectors (to accelerator pedal sensor) • Check accelerator pedal sensor • Check wiring (to accelerator pedal sensor)
What you'll see
Accelerator pedal will not function as long as the fault is present. Accelerator pedal position information sent on the CAN-bus is labeled with an error indicator. Accelerator pedal kickdown information sent on the CAN-bus is labeled with an error indicator (if vehicle is equipped with kickdown). Downhill speed control is disabled Adaptive Cruise control is disabled Collision Mitigation (warning and/or brake assist) will be deactivated.
System reaction
Amber AEB malfunction Amber Cruise Control malfunc.
Diagnostic depth
Signals from accelerator pedal normal sensor never reaches fully released position although brake pedal is pressed repeatedly . Accelerator pedal mechanism plausibly faulty.
• Obstacle disturbing the pedal motion • Defect accelerator pedal mechanism (linkage, return spring, etc.) • Defect accelerator pedal sensor (potentiometer) • Defect connectors • Defect wiring to accelerator pedal sensor
