Urgency and Driving Safety If your vehicle has triggered a P0223 code, it is not recommended to continue driving. This code indicates a potential issue with the throttle control system, which can lead to reduced engine power, poor acceleration, or even stalling. In some cases, the vehicle may enter a "limp mode" to prevent further

Introduction The P0222 code is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that indicates a problem with the throttle/pedal position sensor or switch "B" circuit. Specifically, it means that the voltage input from the sensor to the engine control module (ECM) is too low. This code is considered a generic powertrain code, meaning it applies to all
