Review the 'Possible Causes' mentioned above and visually examine the corresponding wiring harness and connectors. Ensure to check for any damaged components and inspect the connector pins for signs of being broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded.
To diagnose the P2138 Acura code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor A and Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor B are potentiometers, and they are installed in the engine compartment. Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensors A and B are operated via the throttle cable to determine the accelerator opening value when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal opening value is converted to a signal in APP sensors A and B and transmitted to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to compute the target position. The target position signal is transmitted to the throttle actuator control module via the circuit. APP sensor A is for the primary control, and APP sensor B is a back-up of APP sensor A in case it malfunctions. Both sensors compare their output voltage to each other for malfunction detection. When the voltage difference of APP sensor B is out of a fixed range for a set time, the PCM detects a malfunction, and a DTC is stored.
