Fault Code 432 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Idle Validation Circuit - Out of Calibration
Fault Code 432 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Idle Validation Circuit - Out of Calibration
Fault Code 432 Accelerator Pedal or Lever Idle Validation Circuit - Out of Calibration
Circuit Description
The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor is attached to the accelerator pedal or lever.
The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor sends a signal to the electronic control
module (ECM) when the accelerator pedal or lever is depressed and released. The
accelerator pedal or lever position circuit contains three wires: accelerator pedal or lever
position supply, accelerator pedal or lever position return, and accelerator pedal or lever
position signal. The switch return circuit for the on-idle and off-idle validation circuit is a
shared return with other OEM switches.
Component Location
The accelerator pedal or lever position sensor is located on the accelerator pedal or lever.
Shop Talk
This fault is logged when both the on idle and off idle validation switches disagree with the
accelerator pedal or lever position signal. Turning the keyswitch ON while partially
depressing the accelerator pedal or lever can cause this fault code to go active. This fault
will stay active until the pedal or lever is cycled through its full travel.

WARNING
For Automotive applications, set the service brake using the trailer
brake hand valve. Make sure there is enough air pressure to activate
the brake pressure switch. Securely chock the wheels. Truck
movement during troubleshooting can cause severe equipment
damage, personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of damaging a new ECM, all other active fault
codes must be investigated prior to replacing the ECM.
CAUTION
To reduce the possibility of pin and harness damage, use the following
test leads when taking a measurement:
Part Number 3822758 - male Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead
Part Number 3822917 - female Deutsch/AMP/Metri-Pack test lead
Part Number 3823995 - male Weather-Pack test lead.
