29-2
Accelerator Pedal Position #2 : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect 774-2
Secondary Throttle Position Sensor : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has detected an invalid combination of positions for the multi-position switches.
The code is logged. If equipped, the warning light will come on.
Engine RPM defaults to a predetermined safe speed. The throttle switch is ignored by the ECM until the fault is cleared and the keyswitch is cycled.
29-3
Accelerator Pedal Position #2 : Voltage Above Normal 774-3
Secondary Throttle Position Sensor : Voltage Above Normal The ECM detects signal voltage that is not in the acceptable range.
The code is logged. The ECM flags the throttle position as invalid data and a default value is used. The engine speed is limited to high idle.
29-4
Accelerator Pedal Position #2 : Voltage Below Normal 774-4
Secondary Throttle Position Sensor : Voltage Below Normal The ECM detects signal voltage that is not in the acceptable range.
The code is logged. The ECM flags the throttle position as invalid data and a default value is used. The engine speed is limited to high idle.
29-8
Accelerator Pedal Position #2 : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period 774-8
Secondary Throttle Position Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The ECM detects an incorrect frequency on the throttle signal or an incorrect duty cycle on the throttle signal.
The code is logged. The ECM flags the throttle position as invalid data and a default value is used. The engine speed is limited to high idle.
91-2
Accelerator Pedal Position #1 : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect 91-2
Throttle Position Sensor : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has detected an invalid combination of positions for the multi-position switches.
The code is logged. If equipped, the warning light will come on.
Engine RPM defaults to a predetermined safe speed. The throttle switch is ignored by the ECM until the fault is cleared and the keyswitch is cycled.
91-3
Accelerator Pedal Position #1 : Voltage Above Normal 91-3
Throttle Position Sensor : Voltage Above Normal The ECM detects signal voltage that is not in the acceptable range.
The code is logged. The ECM flags the throttle position as invalid data and a default value is used. The engine speed is limited to high idle.
91-4
Accelerator Pedal Position #1 : Voltage Below Normal 91-4
Throttle Position Sensor : Voltage Below Normal The ECM detects signal voltage that is not in the acceptable range.
The code is logged. The ECM flags the throttle position as invalid data and a default value is used. The engine speed is limited to high idle.
91-8
Accelerator Pedal Position #1 : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period 91-8
Throttle Position Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The ECM detects an incorrect frequency on the throttle signal or an incorrect duty cycle on the throttle signal.
The code is logged. The ECM flags the throttle position as invalid data and a default value is used. The engine speed is limited to high idle. The output from the throttle position sensor is a PWM signal that varies with the position of the throttle pedal. The throttle position sensor produces a minimum duty cycle in the released position and a maximum duty cycle in the fully depressed position. When the pedal is released, the ECM translates the sensor output signal to a throttle position of 0 percent. When the pedal is fully depressed, the ECM translates the output signal to a throttle position of 100 percent.Required Tooling
Note: Performing steps within this procedure requires the use of a multimeter capable of measuring a PWM duty cycle and frequency. Refer to Table 2 for the tools recommended for the procedure.

Troubleshooting Test Steps Values Results
1. Check the Signal Frequency and the Duty Cycle at the Sensor
A. Turn the keyswitch to OFF.
B. Remove the wire from terminal location C (throttle position) on the harness side of the connector for the throttle position sensor.
C. Install a 326-4904 Adapter Cable As (3-PIN BREAKOUT) at the connector for the throttle position sensor.
D. Connect the connector for the throttle position sensor.
E. Turn the keyswitch to ON.
F. Measure the frequency and the duty cycle between terminal B (digital return) and terminal C (throttle position) at the 326-4904 Adapter Cable As (3-PIN BREAKOUT). Operate the throttle pedal while making the measurements.
G. Turn the keyswitch to OFF.
H. Remove the breakout harness. Restore the wiring for the harness connector to the original configuration.
Frequency
Duty Cycle
Result: The ECM detects an incorrect frequency on the throttle signal or an incorrect duty cycle on the throttle signal. The frequency is below 150 Hz or the frequency is above 1000 Hz. The duty cycle is less than 5 percent or the duty cycle is greater than 95 percent.
Proceed to Test Step 2.
Result: The frequency and the duty cycle are within specifications for the entire range of the pedal.
Repair: Repair the harness or replace the harness. Verify that the problem is resolved.
2. Check the Supply Voltage to the Sensor
A. Turn the keyswitch to OFF.
B. Disconnect the harness connector for the throttle position sensor.
C. Measure the voltage across terminal A (8 V supply) and terminal B (digital return) on the harness side of the connector.
7.5 VDC
Result: The supply voltage is above 7.5 VDC at the sensor connector.
Repair: The wiring is OK. Replace the sensor. Verify that the problem is resolved.
Result: The supply voltage is not above 7.5 VDC at the sensor connector.
The supply voltage is not reaching the speed control.
Repair: Repair the harness wiring or replace the harness. Verify that the problem is resolved.
If the procedure did not correct the issue, contact your Cat dealer Technical Communicator (TC). For further assistance, your TC can confer with the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
