Hino P2123 Fault Code: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 1 – Out Of Range (Out Of Range High)

22/01/2025

DESCRIPTION OF MALFUNCTION

The accelerator sensor 1 cannot correctly sense

DTC SET CONDITION

DTC Detection Condition:

  • Starter switch ON
  • Battery voltage is in the range of 10 V to 16 V

Judgment Criteria:

  • Accelerator sensor 1 (accelerator pedal position sensor) voltage ≥ 4.1 V (147%).
  • Failure timer ≥ 1 second

RESET CONDITION

Immediately after normal operation is restored

INDICATION, WARNING OR SYSTEM CONTROL REGULATION WHEN THE DTC IS SET

  • MIL: ON
  • SVS light: OFF
  • Cruise control function is not available

SYMPTOMS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DTC IS SET

Symptoms on the Vehicle Due to Backup Control (Fail Safe Function):

Cruise control does not work

PRE-INSPECTION WORK

Check that the battery voltage is in the normal range. 

AFTER-INSPECTION WORK 

  • Clear all past DTCs
  • Check that no DTC is stored after test drive

POSSIBLE CAUSES

  • Harness disconnection or short-circuit
  • Malfunction of sensor 1
  • Malfunction of engine ECU

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS

Step 1: Inspect the accelerator sensor 1 connector

Check the connection of the accelerator sensor 1 connector (Looseness and poor contact).

Were any failures found?

Yes Connect securely, repair if needed. Clear all past DTCs. Check if no DTC is stored after test drive
No Go to Step 2

Step 2: Inspect the accelerator sensor 1 unit

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
  2. Disconnect the accelerator sensor 1 connector
  3. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the accelerator sensor 1
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK Accelerator sensor 1

VCC1 – SIG1

VCC1 – GND1

SIG1 – GND1

2 Ω

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 3
No Replace the accelerator sensor 1. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive

Step 3: Inspect the power supply of the accelerator sensor 1

  1. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the voltage between the terminals of the accelerator sensor 1 vehicle-side connector
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: ON Accelerator sensor 1 vehicle-side connector

VCC1 – GND1

4.5 – 5.5 V

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 4
No Go to Step 5

Step 4: Inspect the signal circuit of the accelerator sensor 1

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance the terminals of the accelerator sensor vehicleside connector
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK Accelerator sensor 1 vehicle-side

connector

SIG1 – GND1

25 – 35 kΩ

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 7
No Go to Step 5

Step 5: Inspect for short-circuit of the accelerator sensor 1 harness

  1. Connect the signal check harness to the engine ECU vehicle-side harness. (Do not connect the harness to the ECU)
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the engine ECU (signal check harness) and ground
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK Engine ECU

AGD1(V45) – Ground

ACS1(V47) – Ground

AVC1(V50) – Ground

∞ Ω

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 6
No Repair or replace the harness. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive

Step 6: Inspect disconnection of the accelerator sensor 1 harness

  1. Connect the accelerator sensor connector
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the engine ECU (signal check harness)
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK Engine ECU 

(signal check harness)

AVC1(V50) – ACS1(V47)

AVC1(V50) – AGD1(V45)

ACS1(V47) – AGD1(V45)

2 Ω

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 7
No Repair or replace the harness. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive

Step 7: Check the DTC detected (Engine ECU) [Diagnostic Tool]

  1. Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic tool
  2. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
  3. Select [Engine] and check if the DTC P2122 or P2123 has been detected

Has DTC P2122 or P2123 been detected?

Yes Replace the engine ECU. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive
No Procedure completed. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive
