What does code P2130 mean?

Q: What does code P2130 mean?

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch 'F' Circuit. P2130 indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an abnormal signal on the throttle or pedal position sensor circuit designated 'F', which is typically a second or redundant sensor track used for cross-checking. The PCM compares this signal against other throttle or pedal sensor inputs and sets the code when the voltages do not correlate within the expected range for a calibrated period.
