Cummins: Fault Code: 134 PID: P029 SPN: 29 FMI: 4

The remote throttle position sensor provides throttle position information to the engine control module. Fault code 134 indicates a problem with the remote throttle position sensor circuit. Troubleshooting steps include checking for physical damage to connectors and wires, verifying sensor resistance values, and checking for shorts to ground or between circuits. Replacing faulty components should resolve the issue.

REMOTE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

CUMMINS

FAULT CODE: 134


PID: P029
SPN: 29
FMI: 4

Remote Throttle Position Sensor Circuit


DESCRIPTION
The remote throttle pedal provides the driver's throttle command
to the electronic control module (ECM) through the original
equipment manufacturers (OEM) harness and the OEM interface
harness. The ECM uses this signal to determine the fueling
command.
The remote throttle position sensor is a potentiometer. The
resistance specifications of the throttle position sensor is as follows:
- Between supply and return = 2000 to 3000 ohms
- Between supply and signal: Released = 1500 to 3000 ohms;
depressed = 200 to 1500
NOTE: If remote throttle position sensor is changed, or after a
calibration download, cycle the throttle pedal (key switch in the
ON position) through its complete travel three times. This
procedure calibrates the new remote throttle with the ECM.
• The remote throttle enable switch must be turned on for
the remote throttle to operate.
• Possible causes of this fault code include an open circuit in
the supply wire, short circuit to ground in the supply or
signal wires, defective remote throttle position sensor, or a
failed ECM power supply.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The remote throttle pedal location varies with each OEM. Refer to
the OEM manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the remote throttle position sensor.
Inspect the OEM harness and the remote throttle position sensor connector pins for:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged seals.
No damaged pins?

Yes - Go to 1B No - Repair or replace the OEM harness or sensor,


whichever has the damaged pins.
Go to 4A

Step 1B) Connect all the components and turn key switch ON. Check for active fault codes using the
diagnostic tool.
Fault Code 132 active?

Yes - Go to 1C No - Go to 4A

Step 1C) Disconnect the remote throttle connector and check for fault code deactivates using the diagnostic
tool.
Fault Code 134 active?

Yes - Go to 2A No - Replace the remote throttle position sensor


Go to 4A

Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the remote throttle position sensor.
Inspect the harness and the remote throttle position sensor connector pins for:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged seals

No damaged pins?

Yes - Go to 2B No - Repair or replace the OEM harness or sensor,


whichever has the damaged pins
Go to 4A

Step 2B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the remote throttle position sensor.
Check for an open or short circuit between pins in the remote throttle position sensor. Measure the
resistance between the +5-VDC supply and the remote throttle position sensor return on the sensor side of
the remote throttle position sensor when the remote throttle is released and when it is depressed.

2000 to 3000 ohms?

Yes - Go to 2C No - Replace the remote throttle position sensor


Go to 4A

Step 2C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the remote throttle position sensor.
Check for short circuit to ground on the remote throttle sensor +5-VDC supply. Measure the resistance
between the +5-VDC supply on the sensor side of the remote throttle position sensor and the chassis
ground.

More than 100k ohms?

Yes - Go to 2D No - Replace the remote throttle position sensor


Go to 4A

Step 2D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the remote throttle position sensor.
Check for a short circuit to ground of the sensor signal wire. Measure the resistance between the signal
wire on the sensor side of the remote throttle position sensor and the chassis ground.

More than 100k ohms?

Yes - Go to 3A No - Replace the remote throttle position sensor


Go to 4A

Step 3A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Disconnect the OEM
harness from the remote throttle position sensor. Inspect the harness and the ECM connector pins for:
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Corroded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged seals.

No damaged pins?

Yes - Go to 3B No - Repair or replace the OEM harness or ECM,


whichever has the damaged pins
Go to 4A

Step 3B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness to the remote throttle position sensor.
Disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Check for an open circuit in the supply or signal wires of the
OEM harness. Measure the resistance between pin 10 of the OEM harness and the +5-VDC supply on the
harness side of the remote throttle position sensor. Measure the resistance between pin 9 of the OEM
harness and the signal wire on the harness side of the remote throttle position sensor.

Less than 10 ohms?

Yes - Go to 3C No - Repair or replace the OEM harness


Go to 4A

Step 3C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness to the remote throttle position sensor.
Disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Check for a short circuit to ground in the remote throttle
position sensor +5-VDC supply circuit. Measure the resistance between the pin 10 of the OEM harness and
the chassis ground.

More than 100k ohms?

Yes - Go to 3D No - Repair or replace the OEM harness


Go to 4A

Step 3D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the OEM harness to the remote throttle position sensor.
Disconnect the OEM harness from the ECM. Check for a short circuit to ground in the remote throttle
position sensor signal circuit. Measure the resistance between pin 9 of the OEM harness and the chassis
