ETC and P2299

[Champy]

So tonight pulling out of the parking lot at work I get the Red ETC lightning bolt and the truck starts running poorly. Pulled over to check stuff out and the ETC light goes away. Looked for any fault codes and see that there is a P2299 code... ..... some kinda fault for using both feet while driving..... since this is my normal technique I can see this fault becoming a permanent fixture for me.



So how do I get rid of this P code? Does it go away eventually or do I need to buy a scan tool to clear it. Tried doing multiple restarts but its still there.

"some kinda fault for using both feet while driving..... "



You gotta be kidding!!!!! This thing won't let me run the tire pressure I want to, now it's telling you how to drive?? I think it's time to look for a 12 Valve..... lol

Does not say if it resets itself, but I'm guessing it does.



This diagnostic tests for a stuck throttle or throttle position sensor. The algorithm only runs when detected throttle position is above 8% and maintains a position within 2% for more than two seconds. If the brake pedal is pushed during that time, the diagnostic will fail. This fault will not occur if the brake pedal is applied first and then the throttle pedal is engaged. If this diagnostic runs and fails the ECM will light a momentary ETC lamp. The ETC lamp will only be active when the condition exists. While the error is active the customer will likely experience a throttle derate. The throttle position must be below 8% with both brake switches off in order for this error to reset.



When Monitored:

Engine on, throttle position maintained above 8% with less than a 2% deviation in two seconds.



Set Condition:

Brake pedal is depressed during the monitored conditions.
