P2116Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor E Minimum Stop Performance
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- The code covers the rest-position check of signal E. Ford, GM and Mitsubishi assign E to the second accelerator pedal sensor, which on many pedals runs at roughly half the voltage of sensor D (GM: APP 2 between 0.16 and 2.3 V). If the reading with the pedal released lies outside the learned or calibrated window, P2116 can be stored. No manufacturer documents this code publicly. Circuit faults of the same sensor are reported separately (P2125, P2127-P2129) and disagreement between D and E as P2138; P2115 and P2117 handle D and F. Typical effects are a warning lamp, an unsteady idle and limited throttle response.
- What you may notice
