Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor Minimum Stop Performance
The P2114 code indicates that the throttle/pedal position sensor has detected a performance issue at the minimum stop position. This typically means the sensor signal is out of expected range when the throttle is closed, often due to carbon buildup, mechanical binding, or sensor malfunction. The PCM monitors the sensor voltage and compares it to expected values; when the voltage at idle is too high or too low, this code sets.
01. Most Common Causes
- Carbon buildup on throttle body
- Faulty throttle position sensor
- Wiring or connector issues
- Sticking throttle plate
02. Symptoms You Will Notice
- Check Engine Light on
- Reduced engine power
- Rough idle or stalling
- Poor acceleration
03. Step-by-Step Diagnosis
Step 1: Scan for codes and freeze frame data
Step 2: Inspect throttle body for carbon buildup and clean if necessary
Step 3: Check throttle position sensor voltage and compare to specs
Step 4: Inspect wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion

05. Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to drive with this code?▼
It may be safe for short distances, but reduced power and stalling can occur. It's best to diagnose and repair promptly.
How much does it cost to fix?▼
Typically $50-$150 for cleaning or sensor replacement, but could be higher if wiring repairs are needed.
