Diagnostic Help

WARNING: The car must not be driven until the fault has been rectified.

A mechanical fault is preventing the throttle from closing. DTCs P1251 or P1264 generated and throttle control in limp-home mode. Throttle has been open since then despite the driver releasing the accelerator pedal.
