P1287 CADILLAC – Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 3 Circuit Low Voltage

P1287 CADILLAC Possible Symptoms

Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

P1287 CADILLAC Possible Causes

Faulty Accelerator Pedal Position (APP),Accelerator Pedal Position harness is open or shorted,Accelerator Pedal Position circuit poor electrical connection

P1287 CADILLAC Description

The Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensors are located within the Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) module assembly. The TAC module assembly is mounted to the accelerator pedal bracket. There are 3 individual APP sensors within the TAC module. Three separate signal circuits, low reference circuits, and 5-volt reference circuits are used in order to determine the accelerator pedal position. The APP sensor signal voltages increase when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
