Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, and 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

General Description

The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor -G79- and Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 -G185- are combined in one component and integrated into the Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-. They are used to detect the position of the accelerator pedal throughout the entire adjustment range. The Engine Control Module - J623- detects the driver's request from these signals and uses them to calculate the injection quantity and EPC Throttle valve operation.

The Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- contains the following components:

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor -G79-
Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2 -G185-

The Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- components cannot be serviced separately, and must be serviced as a unit.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Multimeter.
Scan Tool.

3	DISCONNECT: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector. IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminals 2 to 3 and 1 to 5 for voltage. SPECIFIED VALUE: About 5.0 V. IGNITION: OFF. -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 4 Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING - 4 . -- NO: GO TO: Step 5 Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING - 5 .
4	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 4 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 72 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 6 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 89 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-. Refer to appropriate repair information. GO TO: Step 6 Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING - 6 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 6 Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING - 6 .
5	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 16 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 33 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 34 for resistance. CHECK: Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2- harness connector terminal 5 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T91 / 51 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 6 Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING - 6 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 6 Accelerator Pedal Module - GX2-, CHECKING - 6 .
6	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. -- Does the original DTC return?	-- YES: CHECK: Engine Control Module -J623- harness connector for any damaged, pushed-out pins. REPAIR: As necessary. If all electrical connections are OK: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. Clear the DTC's. Refer to: DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY . Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to: READINESS CODE . Return vehicle to Customer. -- NO: Perform the diagnostic procedure for any DTC's. If no DTC's return the repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.
