The invention discloses an accelerator pedal signal self diagnostic method which comprises the steps that S101, under the condition of zero opening degree of the accelerator pedal opening degree, when an accelerator pedal signal belongs to a first threshold range, the signal is judged as normal, and when the accelerator pedal signal does not belong to the first threshold range, the signal is judged as fault; or S102, under the condition of intermediate opening degree of the accelerator pedal opening degree, when the accelerator pedal signal corresponding to the engine speed belongs to a second threshold range, the signal is judged as normal, and when the accelerator pedal signal corresponding to the engine speed does not belong to the second threshold range, the signal is judged as fault; or S103, under the condition of total opening degree of the accelerator pedal opening degree, when the accelerator pedal signal belongs to a third threshold range, the signal is judged as normal, and when the accelerator pedal signal does not belong to the third threshold range, the signal is judged as fault. By means of the above execution mode, when working condition diagnosis is entered, the current accelerator pedal signal value is read and compared with a preset right value, so that detection and diagnosis of a wrong accelerator pedal signal are achieved.
