    IP to Body Harness Connector Repair for MIL and DTC P2138

    1. 1Fault

      • The engine warning lamp comes on intermittently with a message or indicator showing Reduced Engine Power.
      • DTC P2138 (Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor 1-2 Correlation) is set as current or in history.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Water may have entered the instrument panel (IP) to body harness connector, which carries the APP sensor signals to the ECM/PCM.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Verify that no aftermarket equipment is electrically connected to the APP sensor signal or low reference circuits, or to any other ECM/PCM 5V reference or low reference circuit.
      2. Locate the IP to body harness connector, which may be in or around the left hand kick panel area or inside the IP.
      3. Inspect for a water leak in the area, using a water hose if necessary to find the source.
      4. Possible water leak points include the A-pillar seals, the sunroof drain lines (if equipped) and the windshield/cowl sealing.
      5. Inspect the terminals of the IP to body harness connector for corrosion and debris.
    3. 3Correction
