my cel light keeps on coming on with this code sometimes when i wash it.


now today it rained and same thing the cel light came back on i usually just clear the code and it fixes but today i didn't go away at all
stayed on with no power at all the car in limp mode i even had to leave inside our warehouse at our office because it didn't have no power what can it possibly be?

i already replaced the pedal position sensor so idk if its that AGAIN.

this is the second time the cel light turns on once when i washed it and today that it rained.



what can it be?
should i just take it to the honda dealer


p2138 -Accelerator pedal position (app) sensor 1/2 (throttle position sensor D/E) incorrect voltage correlation


engine light came on and my both VSA lights came on and it got to like limp mode no power at all...

 

I'm not an expert in car diagnostics but I believe the first recommendation here (which you probably already did) will be to thoroughly clean the battery terminals with one of those terminal wire brush things.

 

ummm... i just bought the battery like 4 days ago its brand-new





i dont think it has to do with that

 

Can you clarify "I usually just clear the CEL"? How long have you had the issue?

Utah

 

? no one ?

 

well i got this issuw about a month ago so i went out and bought the pedal position sensor got it replaced the car went back to normal..


a couple of weeks later i washed it and same thing happen again check engine light vas lights on and on limp mode.


so i took it to a mechanic gave it a look he didn't find anything wrong so he cleared the code and the car went back to normal intill yesterday morning it rained real hard and the same thing happen again and this time i just left my car at the office in our where house because it was in limp mode and it is still siting there and idk what it can be ?




i do have a mugen hood witch has the vents maybe water go in there ?? but I'm still lost if the pedal position sensor is coverd..

 

update:


i went to go pick up my car today the car was fully dry i disconnected the battery for like 30 seconds to a minute connected it back and drove it all the way home with no cel light no nothing..?


so i mean what can it be
water is effecting something but i don't kno what.

 

Sounds like maybe moisture is getting in your throttle body connector.

 

you could fill a windex bottle (or any misting spray bottle) with water and spray components one at a time to see if you can single out your offender. just a suggestion...

good luck

 

is there anything i can put on the connector so no water can go in? like some sort of grease water proof or something?
