Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch B Circuit High

44 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

The second throttle position sensor signal is higher than the range the engine computer considers possible.

2Common causes

Faulty throttle position sensor
Damaged wiring or connector
Throttle body fault
Pedal position sensor fault
Engine control module fault

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

Usually safe to drive gently. If the engine revs on its own or loses power, stop safely and have it checked.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
