BR V Reduced Engine Power

My 2016 Honda BR-V gasoline engine has reduced power and the check engine light is on at 88919 km. Could this be a defective throttle valve? Diagnostics suggest a fault within the accelerator pedal module. Is this accurate, and what next?

I also drive a BR-V, and your situation sounds familiar. Have you noticed any unusual air flow patterns recently? I experienced a similar issue with reduced engine power and the check engine light. Have you checked the throttle sensor for any irregularities? It might be worth investigating, as a faulty sensor can cause a significant response delay.

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you elaborate on the specific irregularities I should be looking for regarding the throttle sensor? Also, did you observe any changes in fuel efficiency with these symptoms?

Yes, I did observe a decrease in fuel efficiency. The car was simply consuming more fuel than usual. As for the throttle sensor, I recommend taking it to a trusted workshop. They should be able to properly diagnose the issue. In my case, I ended up having to replace the whole valve. It's best to avoid self-repairs on such a sensitive component.

I appreciate your insights. I consulted a reputable workshop, and they confirmed a defective throttle valve stemming from the accelerator pedal module. The repair cost about 265€.
