What it means

P2AD1 means Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C/G Voltage Correlation.

Where it lives

For P2AD1, the description names the sensor as the part involved.

Check these first

  • A failed throttle or pedal position sensor C or G
  • A mismatch between throttle position sensor C and sensor G signals
  • A corroded throttle actuator connector affecting sensors C and G
  • Wear in the throttle body skewing the sensor C and G track

What to do next

  1. Scan all modules and compare throttle position sensor C and G voltages through the pedal sweep
  2. Inspect the throttle and pedal sensor connectors for corrosion or a loose pin
  3. Test the sensor C and G signal circuits for open and short faults
  4. Check the throttle body for mechanical wear or sticking
  5. Replace the throttle body assembly if sensor C and G cannot be correlated
  6. Clear the code and retest
