Q: What does code P069F mean?

Throttle Actuator Control Lamp Control Circuit. P069F indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a fault in the electrical circuit that controls the throttle actuator control (TAC) warning lamp, which is the light that alerts the driver to a problem with the electronic throttle system. The PCM monitors the lamp circuit for expected voltage or current when the lamp is commanded on or off, and it sets this code when the circuit does not respond as expected, which may be due to a wiring fault, a failed lamp, or an internal PCM driver issue.
