How to tell the difference between throttle position sensor bad or pedal position sensor bad?

Hello,

Can you tell me exactly what issue you are facing with?
On this vehicle the throttle position sensor is part of the throttle body, and the pedal sensor is located under the dash.
Generally speaking, the throttle position sensor / throttle body will trigger the check engine light.

So, if the check engine light is illuminated, the best first step would be to scan and retrieve the code(s). That can help with the diagnostics.

Let me know what you are experiencing.

Thank you.

One of the most common causes for limp mode is having a dirty throttle actuator.
Dirty actuator will not bel able to provide correct data to the ECM and that can trigger the limp mode.
