Code T231

S/N HRX391LL01699
VW motor with L/P fuel
The truck comes to a stop and there is an audible tone. Code T231 comes up on the display. Now I've figured out the code is caused by the pedals sensor having an issue. What I need to know is the location of the sensor. Is it in the pedal box and do I need to replace the whole pedal box? Or where would I find this sensor?

Ok, I will see if I can figure it out... I'm just a self taught mechanic and learning as I go. I do tend to catch on to things quickly though so I'll see if I can figure out where these things you mentioned are.

Check the pedal position potentiometer, calibrate to center ,if it was replaced it has to be calibrated , if not probly needs to be replaced an calibrate. Also check wiring running under pedal assy ,I've seen the harness run thru an create shorts , also check the pedal pot gear is not worn out an going out of range.

231 Combination of pedal position sensor signal and reference sensor signal is not plausible.
