P2130Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch F Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2130 is the general circuit code for signal F. GM used it on its 2004-2005 pickups and SUVs with a separate throttle actuator control module (TACM) and a pedal carrying three tracks, where F is APP sensor 3. The TACM flags a continuous or intermittent open or short when sensor 3 reads below 1.63 V or above 4.38 V, or when its learned rest voltage exceeds 4.28 V; each error adds 4 to a counter checked every 3 ms, passes subtract 1, and the code sets at 106. GM's 2004 tables rate it Type C, the 2005 tables Type A with immediate MIL. Ford's three-track pedals split the same duty into P2132 and P2133. Plausibility is P2131, dropouts P2134. With one track lost the other two still steer the engine, usually with reduced response.
- What you may notice
- Engine warning lamp on
- Softer or delayed response to the pedal
- Reduced power message on some models
- Likely causes
- LikelyPoor terminal contact or corrosion at the pedal connector
- PossibleOpen or short in the signal, reference or ground wire of track F
- PossibleThird track inside the pedal sensor worn or failed
- RareFaulty input in the throttle actuator control module or ECM
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
- Repair
- Easy · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €20 – €350
