Honda CR-V: APP Sensor Signal Inspection
NOTE:
- This procedure checks the APP sensor in its fully
closed position. In any other position, the APP sensor
stores DTCs which are covered in other
troubleshooting procedures.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS
before doing this procedure. If any DTCs are
indicated, troubleshoot them first, then do this
procedure.
- Press the accelerator pedal several times to check its operation. If it
does not operate smoothly, check the pedal. If you find a problem, replace
the accelerator pedal module.
1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC)
(A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
3. Make sure the accelerator pedal is not pressed,
then check the APP SENSOR in the DATA LIST with
the HDS.
- If it is 0 %, the APP sensor is OK.
- If it is not 0 %, update the PCM if it does not have
the latest software, or substitute
a known-good PCM, then go to
step 4.
4. Make sure the accelerator pedal is not pressed,
then check the APP SENSOR in the DATA LIST with
the HDS.
- If it is 0 %, the APP sensor is OK.
- If it is not 0 %, replace the accelerator pedal
module, then go to step 1.
