2004-2006 Amanti (GH) APS Concerns
- Description
Some 2004 2006 Amanti (GH) vehicles may set a variety of Powertrain DTCs that relate to the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) or APS circuit. We
have discovered in some cases that the APS (PN 35357 39700) has been replaced unnecessarily, and that the problem was found to be circuit
connection/connector related.
Typically, it is found that either APS 1 or APS 2 is reading out of specified range. In some cases, it is the connections at the APS that are causing the
concern, and not the APS itself.
Before replacing any APS, clean any dielectric grease from the electrical connections, and then check pin tension. Replace any female pins in the harness
connector that are found to be loose. Finally in all cases, apply electrical connector *Stabilant 22A(R) (locally sourced) to assure good pin connector
contact.
Recheck APS operation with the scan tool. Only replace the APS if the resulting readings are still out of specified range.
