The TPS sends this information to the powertrain control module (PCM), where the information is used to help calculate the ideal values for several engine variables. When your vehicle&rsquo;s throttle position sensor or accelerator pedal position sensor develops an issue, it can trigger the P0229 code or other related trouble codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the P0229 Code Mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The P0229 code is defined as Throttle\/Pedal Position Sensor Switch &ldquo;C&rdquo; Circuit Intermittent.

Problems with the TPS or APP can result in the engine running much less efficiently. The PCM might also trigger limp mode, which will prevent the vehicle from running at speeds exceeding 20 miles per hour to protect the engine and driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> The definition of the P0229 code can be different depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
