Do you have a pic of them close up/lit up and the inside part where you need to adjust wires and stuff?
Thanks in advance!

Took the Fit out for a hour long drive. I ended up out in farmland, lol. had no idea where I was. Had to use the GPS to help find my way back to a freeway and get home. It was a blasst though and had some fun

Loaded it up with my tool box and stuff to move to my new job. On the way over there, the car went into limp mode and set the CEL (Check Engine Light on). Fortunately, I was first in line at an intersection with a green light so I hobbled it through. While making the corner one of my friend's (former Honda tech) was coming home from work JUST as I was making the turn so I flagged him down too to keep an eye out on traffic and to help if needed.
Luckily, I had my stuff with me and it turns out the code was a P2127; APP SENSOR B (TP SENSOR E) CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE according to my service manual and scanner. This is tripped whenever the APP (Accelerator Pedal Position) sensor B's output voltage is 0.2 V or less for at least 0.2 second (according to the service manual & Mitchel on Demand); causing the car to go into limp/safe mode.
So I disconnected my ETC (Electronic Throttlebody Controller) completely, reconnected the APP like it was from the factory (making sure its connected), checked some connections around the throttle body itself that I may have fiddled with earlier in the week taking pictures, cleared the code and checked for it to return. No code popped up... so far so good at this time and headed to off the new job site to unload my tools.
Dogged the car (in a non-populated, no traffic area) to get the code to trip again without the ETC, nothing happened so far. Guess it must have been a glitch with the ETC... I'm gonna drive around with my scanner hooked up for a few days to make sure. haha

I had the same thing happen once when the car was stock.. I kicked in the clutch cut the ignition off let out the clutch and switch on the ignition.. It hasn't happened since.. I was fortunate to have just turned onto a downhill stretch of road after the light changed... I never figured out what caused it.

That's weird, I wouldn't mind seeing the freeze frame data on that if it were to happen.
I don't think it may have been the same issue as mine though at least going what the service manual is telling me... Basically a P2127 will set on one drive cycle, so if the PCM/ECU sees it that CEL will come on right then and there. After that for this code in particular (P2127), it takes 3 consecutive starts/drive cycles for the code to clear itself without a scanner or disconnecting the battery.

Hows the weather down there? I wonder if the heat had something to do with it. We are having your weather of last year with no rain and high heat. My car is acting weird too some times and find that the Electric throttle body does not work the same when its hot.

Its been raining everyday for the past week or so... temps been like 70-80 degrees while raining... 90 and up when not or 45 minutes after the rain stops.
I'm gonna see if there is a software update for the Fit's PCM at work Saturday just out of curiosity.
