Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch C/F Voltage Correlation
The redundant throttle or accelerator pedal position channels C and F disagree by more than the allowed tolerance. Drive-by-wire systems compare two or three independent channels to detect a faulty potentiometer track.

- Difficulty: medium
- DIY: possible
- Estimated cost: 60–600 €
- Estimated time: 0.5–2 h
- Component: accelerator pedal position sensor
- Component: throttle position sensor
- MIL / check engine light
- emissions-relevant
