P2114: Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor C Minimum Stop Performance

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P21xx — Fuel & air metering and auxiliary emission controls

What does P2114 mean?

This code reports that position signal C does not show a believable value while its throttle or pedal sits on the lower stop. The controller learns or expects a minimum reading within a tolerance band and flags a fault when the learned value falls outside it. Letter C is rarely assigned: Ford and GM use A/B for the throttle and D/E/F for the pedal, so C appears only on layouts with a third sensor. No manufacturer documents this code publicly; the logic follows the A version P2109 (Subaru) and the Delphi minimum-learn patent. P2113 and P2115-P2117 are the same test for other letters, P2136/P2137 compare C against A or B. Expect a warning lamp and possibly limited power.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • Engine or ETC warning lamp on
  • Irregular idle
  • Reduced power possible

Common causes

  • Medium Position sensor C worn or drifted near its rest position
  • Medium Deposits, ice or a damaged stop prevent the rest position
  • Medium Rest position not relearned after repair
  • Low Connector or wiring fault shifting the C signal

Likelihood is a general estimate across vehicles; your make and model may differ.
