Product Overview

This Bosch throttle potentiometer (accelerator pedal module) is a direct-fit electronic pedal assembly designed for Citroën and Peugeot models. Built to OEM standards, it restores precise pedal position sensing in drive-by-wire systems, improving throttle response, drivability and eliminating erratic acceleration or limp-home modes caused by a faulty pedal potentiometer. Commonly searched by part numbers, this unit matches the reference codes used across Stellantis applications.

Function And Benefits

The pedal potentiometer converts mechanical pedal movement into an electrical signal that the engine control unit uses to control engine torque and throttle response. In modern Citroën/Peugeot cars this component is critical for smooth acceleration, cruise control behavior and safety interventions. Replacing a worn or faulty pedal module returns accurate pedal mapping, reduces hesitation, and clears pedal-related fault codes.

Replacement Procedure (Overview)

Replacing the accelerator pedal potentiometer is a straightforward task for a trained technician or an experienced DIYer with basic tools. Typical steps:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning work to avoid electrical damage and for safety.
• Remove interior trim panels around the pedal box to access the pedal assembly.
• Unplug the electrical connector and remove the retaining bolts securing the pedal module.
• Install the new pedal module, tighten bolts to manufacturer torque, and reconnect the electrical connector.
• Reconnect the battery and perform pedal/idle adaptation if required by the vehicle (some models may need a throttle or pedal calibration procedure via diagnostic tool).

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the battery before removal and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures.
• Inspect wiring harnesses and connector pins for corrosion or damage; replace or repair any compromised wiring before fitting the new unit.
• Use appropriate torque settings for pedal mounting bolts to avoid damage; if uncertain, consult a repair manual for the specific model.
• After installation, clear related fault codes and confirm pedal signal values with a diagnostic tool. If the vehicle requires adaptation, perform it with a compatible diagnostic interface to ensure correct response.

Most Common Causes Of Failure

Pedal potentiometers typically fail due to internal wear of the sensor tracks, contamination from dust or moisture, connector corrosion, or mechanical stress at the pedal pivot. Symptoms include irregular throttle response, delayed acceleration, sudden loss of power or persistent pedal-related fault warnings on the instrument cluster.
