P2299 Fault Code

Brake Pedal Position/Accelerator Pedal Position Incompatible

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

• The P2299 fault code indicates that there is an incompatibility between the brake pedal position sensor and the accelerator pedal position sensor.
• This issue can arise when there are discrepancies in signals received from these two critical sensors, which can lead to problems in vehicle acceleration and braking performance.

What are the symptoms of the P2299 code?

• The vehicle may exhibit symptoms like the check engine light being activated.
• You may experience irregular acceleration or deceleration even when the pedals are not being depressed.
• Potential safety concerns may arise if the vehicle does not respond correctly to braking or acceleration commands.

What causes the P2299 code?

• Common causes include faulty brake pedal position sensor or accelerator pedal position sensor.
• Wiring issues, such as open circuits or shorts between the sensors and the Engine Control Unit (ECU), can also trigger this fault.
• Additionally, issues with the ECU itself can lead to incorrect readings and miscommunication between the sensors.

How to fix P2299?

• Start by checking and, if necessary, replacing the faulty brake pedal position sensor or accelerator pedal position sensor.
• Inspect wiring and connectors for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections, and repair as needed.
• Clear the fault codes from the ECU and perform a test drive to see if the issue returns. If it does, further diagnostic testing may be required.
