P2122Powertrain
Accelerator pedal sensor D — low signal
Where to start
A low signal from the first accelerator pedal sensor. The pedal has two, deliberately, so the unit can compare them. ⚠️ Start with the connector under the pedal: water off shoes and dirt off the mat get in there, and that is the commonest cause. A complete pedal assembly is expensive; the connector is free.
What to watch in live data
A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps
CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
