E40 APP1 Mystery - 0V reported by ECU; 1-2.5V being generated by APP1
Settle in, this is a weird one.
I've don a lot of swaps over the years and this one is a real head scratcher/beard stroker :banghead:. Lucky me. You should know this car has been cursed from the moment that I got it, but that is not the technical issue at hand right now.
I am doing a swap into a non-GM platform using a 2005 Corvette Engine which I bought as a dropout; the transmission is a manual but is not from GM (which doesn't matter). The only changes to the PCM file is to make it a manual and do the patches, otherwise it is a stock file.
I am using a C7 corvette pedal which I know uses different voltage sweep patterns than the C6 that originally came with the car. The E40 pedal has APP1 rising from 1v to 2.5 v and APP2 falling from 4v to around 1v; most pedals after 2005 ( I suspect with the introduction of the 58x crank) have APP1 and APP2 rising, with one rising at roughly twice the rate of the other. The way I have my c7 pedal wired the APP outputs ARE CORRECT FOR THE E40.
Everything is wired up and I wanted to verify that everything was working but it wasn't. I have not yet tried to start the car, which I think has been a good call until this gets sorted out
The issue is that the PCM is throwing code p2122 which is APP1 low voltage. The throttle body basically locks itself in place and the PCM goes into REP.
When you scan the PCM it always shows APP1 reporting 0V, every-time always no matter what you do with the pedal. APP2 scans as normal.
--> The problem is that the APP1 signal which goes to C1 (Blue PIN 22) actually has the correct, expected voltage flowing through it, which I have verified many times by tapping into this wire with a voltmeter<---
I have checked the wiring many times and it is wired correctly.
The low references go to ground, the 5v signal wires come through to the pedal, APP2 works just fine.
The other 5V referenced sensors and the 12V referenced sensors seem to be working fine as well. The MAP sensor which shares the 5v bus with APP1 is working correctly and reporting the correct barometric pressure.
The PCM isn't throwing any codes related to this except for p2122.
The only thing that I can think of is that there is some sort of internal fuse in the PCM for APP1 and it was ether blown before I got it (The engine did come from a wrecked car) or I managed to blow it.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
