P2299 OBD-II: Brake Pedal Position/Accelerator Pedal Position Incompatible
P2299 Severity
Should you fix P2299 yourself?
Identifying an OBD code is just the start of a complete diagnostic routine. Most trouble codes are caused by a sensor reporting a value that is out of range. Just replacing a sensor may not fix underlying issues. Be sure to understand the code, the part or system in your car that the code refers to, and the risks of delaying professional repair.
Proper diagnosis will save you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Urgent codes indicate immediate action is necessary. These are urgent and significant malfunctions that can cause severe damage to the vehicle or harm the driver and passengers.
What causes OBD-II fault code P2299?
The engine computer (PCM) monitors both the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal positions. The PCM compares the two readings, and if they are implausible, code P2299 will be set. This can be caused by depressing both the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time.
