Description
Accelerator Pedal For Citroën C5 And Peugeot 406, 407.
This Bosch electronic accelerator pedal assembly (drive-by-wire) is a direct-fit replacement commonly referenced by OE and aftermarket codes. Designed for PSA vehicles, it translates the driver’s foot movement into an electronic signal for the engine management and throttle control systems. Ideal for professional workshops and experienced DIY mechanics, this unit restores precise pedal response and eliminates faults related to worn sensors or damaged pedal mechanisms.
Key Features
– Electronic throttle position sensing (potentiometer/hall sensor depending on variant) for smooth and accurate drive-by-wire operation.
– Direct replacement for original-style pedal assemblies with matching mounting points and electrical connector.
– Supplied with cross-reference part numbers to simplify identification and search by product code.
Technical Information

Application And Compatibility
The pedal is intended for a range of PSA vehicles from the mid-2000s era using electronic throttle control. It is frequently searched and ordered by the listed product codes, so matching the part number is the most reliable way to ensure fitment. Suitable for technicians servicing Citroën and Peugeot models where the original part number corresponds to the codes above.
Replacement Procedure (Overview)
Recommended for experienced mechanics or properly equipped DIY enthusiasts. Basic replacement steps:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid electrical damage or fault codes.
- Remove lower dashboard trim or footwell cover to access the pedal assembly.
- Unplug the electrical connector and unfasten the retaining bolts securing the pedal to the bulkhead.
- Fit the new pedal assembly, secure bolts to manufacturer specification, and reconnect the electrical connector.
- Reconnect the battery, clear any stored fault codes, and perform throttle pedal adaptation/learn procedure with a diagnostic tool if required.
Installation Recommendations
– Always isolate the battery before removal and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions.
– Inspect the wiring harness and connector for corrosion or damage; a poor connection is a common source of intermittent faults.
– After fitting, use a compatible diagnostic tool to clear fault codes and perform any required throttle adaptation or sensor calibration. Failure to adapt the pedal may result in limp-home mode or throttle faults.
– Use proper mounting hardware and avoid over-tightening bolts to prevent damage to the pedal housing.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
Electronic accelerator pedals are subject to wear and environmental damage rather than routine wear intervals. Common causes of failure include:
- Internal sensor wear (potentiometer contact wear or hall sensor degradation) leading to inaccurate signals or intermittent readings.
- Connector corrosion or wiring damage from moisture ingress in the footwell area.
- Mechanical damage from impact or excessive force on the pedal arm.
- Contamination by dirt or liquids that compromise sensor electronics.
Note For Diagnostics
Always check fault codes with a diagnostic scanner after replacement. If throttle-related faults persist, verify wiring integrity and perform the prescribed throttle/pedal learning procedure for the vehicle.
