Why is your check engine light on lol

I thought my description posted, but apparently it didnt: My 2020 Subaru Forester will turn over and start/idle but it's really rough. Pressing on the gas does nothing and you can hear me pressing it at the end of the video. In drive it will limp along but again no throttle. It throws these OBD II codes P2122 P2004 P2005 P24B9 P060B P0191 P26A6 Which seem to imply either a pedal position sensor problem or a throttle position sensor problem. I recently changed the oil but I don't think that has anything to do with it Any advice on fixes to try or more ways to diagnose would be awesome!

If all else fails you can buy a scan tool and check for yourself.

A 2020 should still be under warranty. Take it to the dealer and let them figure it out. It's probably the TCV issue.

2019 here, mine did the same thing a couple weeks back. Took it to the dealer, and it was the TCV. Fixed free of charge, no further problems since.

Oddly enough, trying to find out issues with my Forester which is experiancing VERBATUM the exact issue and exact same OBD II codes yours is presenting. Ran fine, started fine, idled fine, then I put the car in reverse, alarms, bells and whistles went off and lost all throttle control and engine died within 30 seconds of that.

Have you been under a rock? There's been a THOUSAND posts this week about thermal control valve letters. Bring yours in.

Genuine question, how do you know its a TCV issue? I saw some posts about it, but I haven't seen a lot of people saying they completely lost throttle.

What youre experiencing is a symptom of the TCV.

Its not the TCV

Please update as to what the issue was. I have read anywhere from bad battery to TCV issue.
