What does code P2117 mean?

Q: What does code P2117 mean?

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor 'F' Minimum Stop Performance. P2117 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a performance problem with the minimum stop position of throttle/pedal position sensor 'F', which is typically part of the accelerator pedal assembly or the electronic throttle body. The PCM expects a specific signal voltage or range when the throttle is fully released, and the sensor's output does not meet that expectation during the self-test or during closed-throttle operation.
