P2167Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor E Maximum 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
- P2167 checks position signal E at maximum travel; on designs that call the pedal tracks D, E and F, E is the second pedal sensor. The code sets when E, with the pedal fully down, reports a value outside the accepted band. Because the second track usually has a different characteristic from the first, checking D and E side by side at full pedal reveals whether only E is off or the pedal itself is blocked. No manufacturer documents P2167 publicly; the logic mirrors P2163, which Ford lists, and the open-stop learning in a Visteon patent. Wear near the far end of the E track, contact corrosion in the pedal connector or an obstructed pedal are likely causes. P2116 covers the rest position of E, P2125-P2129 its circuit, P2138 the D/E check.
