What does code P1576 mean?

Q: What does code P1576 mean?

Pedal Position Not Available. P1576 on Ford vehicles means the powertrain control module (PCM) cannot obtain a valid pedal position signal from the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor over the controller area network (CAN) or a dedicated circuit. The PCM sets this code when the expected pedal position message is missing, implausible, or not being broadcast by the module responsible for it, so the computer has no trustworthy driver demand input.
