P0221 EPC code

Post by Inkey$ »

EPC light came on today. After a quick OBD scan the following errors were found.

Raw code: 0221
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Pending
OBDII: Throttle position (TP) sensor B/accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor B - range/performance problem
Volkswagen: APP Sensor 2 Circuit Performance

Is this new throttle body time or are there any other issues that could be the likely cause. Error is intermittent.

First thing I would do is check the connections at the throttle pedal and at the throttle body. Based on the description with the code, I would say the issue is at the pedal as opposed to the throttle body

Will do and thanks. It was fine heading home today, so would appear to be more connection based.
