P212F Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch F/G Voltage Correlation
Channels F and G of the throttle/pedal position sensor disagree by more than the allowed tolerance. Drive-by-wire system has lost redundancy and may force limp mode.
Is it safe to drive with P212F?
The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
Common causes
- Most likelyOne potentiometer track worn
Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Reduced throttle response, possible limp mode
- Hesitation or surging
- Idle too high or too low
