P2117 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor F Minimum Stop Performance

P2117 is the minimum-stop check for signal F. Ford lists F as the third accelerator pedal sensor on its older Gen2 throttle systems (circuit codes P2132/P2133, range P2131), while most current pedals carry only D and E, so the code can only occur on three-track pedals. The ECU flags it when the F reading at the released position lies outside the expected band. No manufacturer documents P2117 publicly. Siblings are P2115 (D) and P2116 (E); P2139 and P2140 compare F with D or E. A sticking pedal or a worn track usually lies behind it, with a warning lamp and reduced pedal response as the visible result.

Likely causes

Pedal does not return fully to its stop
Worn third sensor track F
Poor contact at the pedal connector

Symptoms

  • Warning lamp on
  • Idle speed does not settle
  • Reduced pedal response
