• Causes
• Solutions

The P2132 fault code indicates a problem with the Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch F circuit being too low. This issue can affect the throttle response of the vehicle, leading to poor acceleration and potentially triggering the check engine light. The throttle position sensor monitors the position of the throttle plate and sends that information to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

What are the symptoms of the P2132 code?

When the P2132 code is present, you may experience:

• Poor engine performance and acceleration
• Check engine light illuminated on the dashboard
• Unresponsive or 'hanging' throttle when pressing the accelerator
• Possible stalling of the engine at idle.

What causes the P2132 code?

This fault code can be triggered by several factors, including:

• A faulty throttle position sensor
• Wiring issues or poor connections leading to low voltage signals
• Issues with the throttle body itself
• ECM malfunction
• Corrosion or damage in the connector leading to loss of signal.

How to fix P2132?

To resolve the P2132 code, you can take the following steps:

1. Inspect the wiring and connectors of the throttle position sensor for any signs of damage or corrosion.
2. Test the throttle position sensor for proper voltage output and replace it if necessary.
3. Check the throttle body for obstructions or damage and clean or replace it as needed.
4. Clear the code using an OBD-II scanner and perform a test drive to ensure the issue is resolved.
5. If the problem persists, consider having the ECM checked for faults.
