Diagnostic Trouble Codes    
J1939 Code     CDL Code     Code Description
(code descriptions may vary)     Comments    
29-2     774-2     Accelerator Pedal Position 2 : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect     The Electronic Control Module (ECM) has detected an invalid combination of positions for the multi-position switches.
The code is logged. If equipped, the warning light will come on.
Engine RPM defaults to a predetermined safe speed. The throttle switch is ignored by the ECM until the fault is cleared and the keyswitch is cycled.    
29-3     774-3     Accelerator Pedal Position 2 : Voltage Above Normal     The ECM detects signal voltage that is not in the acceptable
