What does code P1575 mean?

Q: What does code P1575 mean?

Pedal Position Out of Self Test Range. P1575 on Ford vehicles means the powertrain control module (PCM) detected that the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor signal was outside the acceptable range during its key-on self-test. The PCM expects the pedal to be at rest during this test, so a voltage outside the calibrated window triggers the code and often forces the engine into a reduced-power limp mode.
