P2114 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor C Minimum Stop Performance

Check engine lightOn

EmissionsRelevant

Drive cycleNot required

Limp modePossible

This code reports that position signal C does not show a believable value while its throttle or pedal sits on the lower stop. The controller learns or expects a minimum reading within a tolerance band and flags a fault when the learned value falls outside it. Letter C is rarely assigned: Ford and GM use A/B for the throttle and D/E/F for the pedal, so C appears only on layouts with a third sensor. No manufacturer documents this code publicly; the logic follows the A version P2109 (Subaru) and the Delphi minimum-learn patent. P2113 and P2115-P2117 are the same test for other letters, P2136/P2137 compare C against A or B. Expect a warning lamp and possibly limited power.

Likely causes

Position sensor C worn or drifted near its rest position

Deposits, ice or a damaged stop prevent the rest position

Rest position not relearned after repair

Connector or wiring fault shifting the C signal

Symptoms

Engine or ETC warning lamp on
Irregular idle
Reduced power possible
