Fault description and meaning
The accelerator position sensor is a potentiometer attached to the accelerator pedal. It varies its signal voltage to the ECM as the pedal is depressed and released, low at 0 percent and high at 100 percent. This document is filed under fault code 131, accelerator Pedal or Lever Position Sensor 1 Circuit – Voltage Above Normal or Shorted to High Source. Because the sensor shares supply and return wires in the engine harness with other sensors, the manual advises checking for multiple active faults before starting the 131 procedure.

Applicable truck models
This procedure applies to Cummins ISM CM871 (2007-09) engines. The identical fault code and accelerator pedal or lever position sensor circuit also appear in the parallel Cummins ISX CM871 (2007-09) listing. The troubleshooting steps inspect the accelerator pedal or lever position sensor circuit connector pins, verify the 4.75 to 5.25 VDC supply across the sensor, and confirm the fault goes inactive with a diagnostic tool after any repair. Cummins publishes the authoritative service data for these engines on its official website.
