I am having the same issue.

 

That is because the sensor in question is the one that measures the angle of the motorised throttle valve in the intake tract, they have replaced a perfectly serviceable part and left you with the fault.

 

You are the second person in as many days that has been relieved of their hard earned for a throttle pedal sensor by a garage that cannot even read a fault code properly.

 

The good news is that the throttle valve most likely only needs cleaning unless the gears have stripped.

 

The bad news is that the garage would not tell you that.
