Applies To: 2000-01 Passport - ALL
MIL Comes On With Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor DTC(s) P1271, P1273, P1275, P1280, and/or P1285
SYMPTOM
The MIL is on with DTC P1271, P1273, P1275, P1280, or P1285 (various accelerator pedal position sensor problems) stored. The REDUCED POWER
indicator may also be on; and the engine may occasionally idle too high, or the idle may fluctuate.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Contaminated grease on the potentiometer circuit board of the accelerator pedal position sensor (APPS) causes high resistance in the APPS circuit.
