Q: What does code P2116 mean?

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor 'E' Minimum Stop Performance. P2116 indicates that the engine control module has detected a performance problem with the minimum stop position of throttle or pedal position sensor 'E', meaning the sensor's signal at the closed-throttle limit does not match the expected value stored in the module's memory. The computer compares the sensor's voltage or position reading at the minimum stop against a learned or factory-specified threshold and sets the code when the signal falls outside that acceptable range during key-on or closed-throttle events.
