Code result

P210E

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C/F Voltage Correlation

High severity

What it means

The redundant throttle or accelerator pedal position channels C and F disagree by more than the allowed tolerance. Drive-by-wire systems compare two or three independent channels to detect a faulty potentiometer track.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code can put the vehicle into limp or reduced-power mode. Avoid extended driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes

  • One potentiometer track worn — voltage drift

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Water in pedal connector

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.
