It reminds me of the Dateline scandal over GM pickup gas tanks.

VCP1 = 5V Reference for APP 1. VCP2 = 5V Reference for APP 2. VPA1 = Signal Circuit for APP 1. VPA2 = Signal Circuit for APP 2. EP1 = Low Reference for APP 1. EP2 = Low Reference for APP 2. So basically they are shorting the 5V reference for APP1 to the signal circuit of APP 2. If this happens a high voltage DTC will set for the APP2 and the pedal will default to 0%. Then, the APP1 signal voltage will be raised because they are shorting the APP 2 signal (which is shorted to 5V) through a resistor. This may increase in the pedal angle of sensor 1, but since sensor 2 is outside of the normal sensor voltage range, the pedal default should be 0. So unless Toyota trusts sensor 1 even if sensor 2 is shorted to 5V (which I've never seen and highly doubt), what this guy is touting is pure bullshit.
