P2AD3 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A/G Voltage Correlation
The voltage signals of throttle/pedal position channels A and G do not correlate within the calibrated tolerance. One sensor element drifted or harness shows offset between channels.
Is it safe to drive with P2AD3?
The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
Common causes
- Most likelySensor channel A or G drifted
- PossibleHarness offset between channels
Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Reduced throttle response, possible limp mode
- Hesitation or surging
- Idle too high or too low
