The P2113 fault code indicates an issue with the Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor B minimum stop performance. This sensor is crucial for monitoring the position of the throttle valve and ensuring the engine operates efficiently. When the sensor fails to provide accurate readings, it can lead to various engine performance problems.

What are the symptoms of the P2113 code?

Symptoms associated with a P2113 code may include:

• Illuminated check engine light.
• Poor acceleration or reduced power output.
• Unstable engine idle.
• Engine stalling or hesitation during acceleration.
• Increased fuel consumption due to improper throttle control.

What causes the P2113 code?

Common causes of the P2113 code include:

• Faulty Throttle Position Sensor B.
• Wiring issues such as shorts or open circuits in the sensor.
• Corroded connectors affecting the sensor's signal.
• Mechanical issues in the throttle body assembly blocking the sensor's movement.
• PCM (Powertrain Control Module) software glitches or failures.

How to fix P2113?

To resolve the P2113 code, follow these steps:

• Inspect the wiring and connectors to the Throttle Position Sensor B for damage or corrosion.
• Test the Throttle Position Sensor B with a multimeter to ensure it operates within the manufacturer's specifications.
• Clean or replace the throttle body if there are signs of mechanical obstruction.
• Reprogram or replace the PCM if it is determined to be the source of the issue.
• Clear the fault codes and test drive the vehicle to see if the issue persists.
