P2139Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch D/F Voltage Correlation

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
P2139 compares signals D and F, in practice the first and third tracks of a three-track accelerator pedal. No manufacturer publishes a detection rule for this exact code; FCA only lists P2139 in emissions recall T21 for the 2004-2006 Dodge Sprinter among codes that can appear after the ECU update. Makers with three-track pedals handle the comparison differently: GM's 2004-2005 trucks scale sensor 3 and test it against sensors 1 and 2 at 0.26 V, then blame the odd track through P2131 or P2126 instead of naming a pair, and Ford reports a deviating track F as P2131. A pair code like P2139 cannot say which of the two tracks is wrong, so check both with a scope while moving the pedal. Effects are a warning lamp and softened acceleration.
What you may notice
  • Engine or wrench warning lamp on
  • Softened or delayed acceleration
Likely causes
  • LikelyTrack D or F of the pedal sensor worn or drifted
  • PossibleContact resistance at the pedal connector
  • RareFault on a shared ground or 5 V reference
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
