Cummins ISX12 CM2250 (2010-12) Fault Code: 133 PID: 372 SPN: 974 FMI: 3 Remote Accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Sensor 1 Circuit- Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source

Circuit Description
The remote accelerator position sensor is a potentiometer attached to the remote accelerator lever. The remote accelerator position sensor varies the signal voltage to the electronic control module (ECM) as the remote accelerator lever is depressed and released. Low signal voltage is received by the ECM when the remote accelerator lever is at 0 percent. A high signal voltage is received by the ECM when the remote accelerator is at 100 percent. The remote accelerator pedal position circuit contains a remote accelerator pedal position 5 volt supply, remote accelerator pedal position return, and remote accelerator pedal position signal.

Component Location
The remote accelerator pedal or lever location varies with each original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Refer to the OEM service manual.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes
The ECM detects that the remote accelerator pedal signal voltage is greater than 0.273-VDC for more than 1 second.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active
The ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code
To validate the repair, start the engine and let it idle for 1 minute.
The fault code status displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool will change to INACTIVE immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ECM will turn off the red STOP ENGINE light and the fault code will go inactive immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
The ?Reset All Faults? command in INSITE? electronic service tool can be used to clear active and inactive faults.

Shop Talk
If troubleshooting an intermittent accelerator problem:

The remote accelerator pedal or lever position sensor signal voltage can be monitored with INSITE? electronic service tool, while flexing the harness to locate the intermittent connection. Intermittent connections will show up as abrupt changes in signal voltage displayed by INSITE? electronic service tool.

Possible causes of this fault include:

Remote accelerator pedal or lever position signal circuit shorted to battery or (+) 5 volt supply
Open remote accelerator pedal or lever return circuit in the harness or connections
Remote accelerator supply shorted to battery
Malfunctioned remote accelerator pedal or lever position sensor.
NOTE: The three wires in the remote accelerator position sensor circuit must be twisted together.

Reference the appropriate OEM wiring diagram when troubleshooting circuits that utilize wiring supplied by the OEM.

For intermittent power supply and datalink communication issues with Aftertreatment Components, it is highly recommended that the OEM Power Distribution Center fuses and relays be thoroughly checked for loose, missing or intermittent connections.

Possible Cause:
1) OEM harness
2) ECM failure
