Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not drive around electronic throttle warnings; a high throttle-position signal can trigger reduced-power strategy for safety.
