- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P2133 is the high-voltage fault on signal F. In Ford's second-generation electronic throttle the third pedal track counts as failed once it rises above 4.75 V; the 2012 summary reports it with the wrench lamp and without MIL. FCA lists P2133 in emissions recall T21 for the 2004-2006 Dodge Sprinter among the codes that can show up after the engine computer is reflashed. GM's 2004-2005 trucks with a TACM catch excessive readings of sensor 3 above 4.38 V under the general code P2130. A track pinned near the supply would mimic a pressed pedal, so the controller drops it and works with the remaining two. Typical causes are an open sensor ground or a short to 5 V. P2132 is the low counterpart, P2123 and P2128 the high faults on D and E.

- PossibleSignal wire of track F shorted to 5 V or battery voltage
- RareInternal break in track F of the pedal sensor
- Inspection (ITP)
- Can matter for the ITP: it concerns the emissions system.
