DTC P0651 Without RPO CTF

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) provides 5 volts for the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 2.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • The circuit voltage is more than 5.5 volts.
    • The circuit voltage is less than 4.5 volts.
    • The above conditions are met for 0.7 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
    • A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
    • Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following conditions:

    • A poor connection at the ECM connector
    • A poor connection at the battery connector
    • A harness short
    • A defect at the sensor

  1. Disconnect the APP sensor.
  2. Measure the resistance of the APP 2 sensor with a DMM.
  3. Depress the accelerator pedal while observing the resistance of the APP 2 sensor.

Does the resistance of the APP 2 sensor change while moving the accelerator pedal?
