Description of Noncompliance :
Description of the
Noncompliance :
In the event that the accelerator position sensor ground wire becomes
disconnected, the default operating voltage range on the engine rationality
check timing for return to idle is non- compliant with FMVSS 124 S5.2 and S5.3.
FMVSS 1 : 124 – Accelerator control systems
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : If the accelerator position sensor ground wire were to become disconnected,
the engine would operate out of compliant return to idle time target, where
there could be loss of control of the vehicle which could result in a risk of
crash. There have been no warranty claims, field or service reports reported
for this issue.
Description of the Cause : When Pin B is open circuit, the pedal defaults to a high state of 3.8V. This is
within the operating voltage of the engine and is read as 100% driver demand.
On the previously introduced pedal, the OC voltage was 5V. This is outside of
the operating range and is read as an error.
Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur :
The driver may experience an increased delayed return to engine idle.
