Dead accelerator Toyota Corolla

[Polymathic]

The car hasn't been moved for the past Friday the week before, today I jump start the car and the accelerator is dead and I get a check engine light warning.

The car is a 2009 corolla

Dead?

 

[Neuk_]

Dead?

I presume they mean the engine doesn't respond to accelerator input.

Check the ( ETCS ) Electronic Throttle Control System) fuse.

Describe "dead".

Is the pedal slack?
Does the engine turn?

Check the ( ETCS ) Electronic Throttle Control System) fuse.

That worked kinda, still getting check engine light though,

That worked kinda, still getting check engine light though,

Probably needs the fault code cleared.

What do you mean, is the car working properly besides the engine light?

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

isnt this the model with the sudden unintended acceleration they went on about a few years back?

That worked kinda, still getting check engine light though,

Just remove fuse for the gauge cluster.

Probably needs the fault code cleared.

So I need that diagnostic tool to clear it.
