This electronic throttle pedal assembly with HELLA potentiometer is a direct-fit replacement for a range of Citroën and Peugeot drive-by-wire systems. Designed for professional workshops and competent DIY mechanics, the unit restores precise pedal feel and accurate throttle signal to the engine control unit, reducing hesitation, surging and the risk of limp-home mode. Frequently searched by product numbers, this part is commonly listed under the cross-references shown below for quick identification.

Function And Benefits

The pedal assembly contains a position sensor (potentiometer) that converts driver input into an electrical signal for the ECU. A healthy sensor ensures smooth throttle response, consistent idle and correct engine management behavior. Replacing a worn or faulty pedal typically eliminates intermittent throttle readings, engine warning lights related to pedal position, and loss of power conditions.

Installation Recommendations

Suitable for experienced technicians and skilled DIYers. Basic replacement steps:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits and protect electronic modules.
• Remove any interior trim or footwell covers to access the pedal assembly.
• Unplug the electrical connector and detach the mounting fasteners holding the pedal to the bracket.
• Fit the new pedal assembly, secure fasteners to the original points and reconnect the electrical connector. Check connector pins and wiring for corrosion or damage and repair if necessary.
• After installation clear diagnostic trouble codes. Perform a throttle adaptation or relearn procedure if required by the vehicle—some models may require a diagnostic tool to initialize the new sensor or a specified key/drive cycle.

Always follow the vehicle manufacturer service procedures and torque specifications where available.

Most Common Failure Causes

Failures are typically due to mechanical wear of the potentiometer tracks, contamination by dirt or moisture, corrosion of connector pins, damaged wiring harnesses from footwell impact, or internal spring/return mechanism wear. Symptoms include unstable idle, delayed throttle response, intermittent engine warning lights, and activation of reduced-power mode. Life expectancy varies with use and environmental exposure; problems are more likely on high-mileage or water-exposed vehicles.

Fitment And Replacement

Replacement is straightforward for a trained technician or experienced DIY mechanic. Basic steps:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting to avoid electrical damage and airbag system interference.
• Remove lower dash or footwell trim to access the pedal assembly.
• Unplug the electrical connector and remove the mounting bolts securing the pedal.
• Install the new pedal, tighten fasteners to manufacturer torque specifications, reconnect the wiring and re-fit trim.
• After installation clear stored fault codes and verify correct operation. On some vehicles an electronic throttle adaptation or basic checks with a diagnostic tool may be required to restore normal throttle response.

Installation Recommendations

• Always Disconnect The Battery Before Work To Prevent Damage To Electronics.
• Inspect The Connector And Wiring Harness For Corrosion Or Damage; Replace Or Repair As Needed.
• Use A Diagnostic Tool To Clear Codes And Confirm Sensor Signals; Perform Throttle Relearn If The Vehicle Requires It.
• If Uncertain, Have The Final Calibration Performed By A Workshop With PSA Diagnostic Equipment.

Why It Fails Most Often

Common failure causes include wear of the internal potentiometer or Hall sensors, contamination (dirt, moisture), corrosion of the electrical connector, mechanical damage from heavy use or impact, and broken or frayed wiring. Failures typically appear as erratic throttle response, limp-home mode or diagnostic trouble codes in the P0120–P0123 and P0220–P0223 ranges. Lifespan varies with usage and environment; pedals in older or high-mileage cars are more likely to develop faults.
