What does it mean?

B2120 is a Body (airbags, seat belts, body electronics) fault code. It indicates: Adjustable Pedal Sensor .

Symptoms

  • Passenger memory SET function will not store a position
  • No confirmation feedback when the SET button is pressed
  • Adjustable pedals will not move, or only move in one direction
  • Memory recall moves the seat but leaves the pedals in the wrong place
  • Fault sets again as soon as the code is cleared
  • Occasional dead spot where the pedals stop partway through their travel

Likely causes

  • Switch contacts held closed by dirt, wear or a liquid spill in the switch pack
  • Trim panel or a loose clip pressing on the switch after a previous repair
  • Switch input wire shorted to ground under the seat or in the door boot
  • Adjustable pedal position sensor with a worn resistive track producing a dead spot
  • Pedal assembly motor or screw drive jammed, holding the sensor out of range
  • Connector at the pedal assembly loose or corroded from footwell moisture
  • Poor ground for the memory module, distorting all measured inputs
  • Memory or body module input failure once the wiring is proven

How to fix it

  1. Confirm the manufacturer definition and the pin assignments for this application
  2. Observe the SET switch state with nobody touching it, a constantly active state proves a stuck input or grounded wire
  3. Sweep the adjustable pedal through its full travel and look for drops or spikes in the position value
  4. Remove the trim and free the switch, then recheck the live data
  5. Unplug the switch to see whether the input clears, that separates a bad switch from a grounded harness
  6. Inspect the loom at the pedal assembly and along the seat rail for chafing and stretched wire
  7. Measure supply, ground and signal at the pedal sensor connector
  8. Repair or replace the faulty switch, sensor or wire, then store and recall a memory position to confirm the repair
