Sounds like either your pedal (Accelerator Pedal Position) or the motorised throttle body (Throttle Position Sensor) are throwing up the code.

Is there pics showing where those sensors are?
Is this a serious problem? Will the problem get worser if i ignore it or will it effect driving like mpg?

You should not ignore EML coming on.
Assuming your setup is as I understand it (drive by wire) the pedal is electric (APP) and the throttle butterfly is motorised and contains the TPS in it.
A pic of your engine bay would help.

Ok there's 5 possible fixes:
- Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) harness is open or shorted
- Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
- Fault Electric Throttle Control Actuator (or Throttle Body Motor)
- Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APP)
Which one is the common likely fix?

Morning,
I would plug in a code scanner that does live data. Then look at the TPS(%) when the key is in the ignition but the car not running.
That would probably give you the best idea what's going on.

update:
with my Vgate VS550 diagnostic code scanner I plugged it in to my 206 and obtained the following result located in live data menu under datastream menu:
TP is 9.8%
Any advice?

Was the 9.8% constant - no change when you push down the accelerator pedal?

Ok I do the test including the new parameter you just mentioned. I was advised by member RichardEke above to check TPS while engine not running.
With the new parameter you mentioned do you want me to the run the test with the engine on or off?
Any other parameters apart pushing the gas pedal you want me to include in the test?
