Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 Circuit Malfunction

2015-2021 Kia Sedona 3.3L V6

High SeverityPowertrain

Description

The PCM has detected a malfunction in the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 circuit. This redundant sensor provides a backup throttle demand signal for safety. A fault in either APP sensor triggers reduced power mode.

Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light
  • Reduced power mode activated
  • Engine limited to low RPM
  • ETC warning light on
  • Slow throttle response

Common Causes

  • Faulty APP sensor 2
  • Wiring or connector issue in APP sensor 2 circuit
  • Corroded accelerator pedal connector
  • Failing accelerator pedal assembly
  • Reference voltage issue

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Monitor APP sensor 2 voltage through full pedal travel
  2. Compare APP sensor 2 with APP sensor 1 readings
  3. Inspect accelerator pedal connector for corrosion
  4. Check reference voltage at APP sensor 2
  5. Wiggle test wiring while monitoring

Repair Notes

Replace the accelerator pedal assembly if the APP sensor 2 is faulty.
