Product Overview

High-quality Bosch accelerator (throttle) pedal assembly designed for Peugeot 206 vehicles. This electronic pedal converts driver input into an electrical signal for the engine control unit, ensuring precise throttle response and smooth drive-by-wire operation. Ideal for professional garages and skilled DIY mechanics looking for a direct replacement using original equipment (OE) reference numbers.

Key Features

• Direct replacement for OE-coded accelerator pedals, matching electrical and mechanical interfaces.
• Integrated position sensor (potentiometer or Hall-effect type depending on production variant) with robust housing and connector.
• Improved response and reliability when replacing a worn or faulty pedal sensor.
• OE cross-reference numbers included for fast searchability and part matching.

How It Works

The accelerator pedal assembly measures the pedal travel and sends a proportional electrical signal to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU then determines throttle opening (electronic throttle body) or fuel/torque request depending on vehicle calibration. Because the unit is an electronic sensor, correct electrical connection and secure mounting are essential for accurate operation.

Typical Failure Modes

Electronic accelerator pedals generally do not have scheduled replacement intervals. Failures usually result from:

• Wear of the sensor elements (potentiometer contact wear) or degradation of Hall sensors over time.
• Corrosion or contamination of electrical connector pins from moisture or road debris.
• Mechanical damage from improper handling, impact, or interior maintenance work.
• Intermittent signals caused by damaged wiring or poor connector seating.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the vehicle battery before removing or installing the pedal assembly to avoid short circuits and unintended actions.
• Remove dash trim or footwell covers as required to access the pedal mounting points and electrical connector.
• Unplug the electrical connector and remove the mounting bolts/screws holding the pedal module. Keep fasteners and any spacers for reassembly if applicable.
• Install the new pedal in the reverse order, ensuring the connector is fully seated and clips/locks engage securely.
• After installation, check for diagnostic trouble codes and clear them if necessary. Perform throttle adaptation or calibration if required by the vehicle—use diagnostic equipment for best results.
• Avoid excessive force on the sensor body and wiring; inspect connector pins for corrosion and clean if needed before installation.

Why Replace This Part

Replace the accelerator pedal when you observe symptoms such as erratic idle, loss of throttle response, throttle-related warning lights (e.g., throttle pedal sensor or engine management warnings), or when diagnostics show inconsistent pedal position signals. Timely replacement restores predictable throttle control and prevents drivability issues.

Product Overview

This accelerator pedal assembly with integrated potentiometer and cruise-control switch is a direct-fit solution for Citroën C5 and Peugeot 407 models. Manufactured by Bosch and cross-referenced with common OEM numbers, this unit restores accurate throttle position feedback to the engine control unit, ensures reliable cruise control operation and provides the kickdown signal for automatic transmissions. Ideal for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking for a precise replacement part to fix throttle response issues, cruise faults or intermittent accelerator problems.

• Other Numbers: F00C3E2429, 1601Q4, 1601Q0, 280755012

Function And Typical Symptoms

The pedal potentiometer measures the accelerator position and sends an electrical signal to the engine control unit (ECU). The integrated cruise-control switch enables/resumes cruise functions, while the kickdown contact signals the transmission to downshift under heavy throttle. Faulty units typically cause symptoms such as erratic idle, delayed or unresponsive throttle, illuminated check engine light, cruise control failure, sudden limp-home mode and transmission not shifting properly on kickdown.

Common Causes Of Failure

Failures are most often caused by wear of the potentiometer contacts, contamination or moisture ingress, connector corrosion, damaged wiring or mechanical wear of the pedal mechanism (including weakened return spring). Problems often start intermittently and progress to persistent faults or stored diagnostic trouble codes.

Installation Recommendations

1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work to avoid electrical faults.
2. Remove any necessary trim panels to access the pedal assembly and disconnect the electrical connector carefully to avoid damaging terminals.
3. Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the old pedal assembly. Compare part numbers to ensure correct replacement.
4. Fit the new pedal assembly, secure mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specification, and reconnect the electrical connector ensuring a firm, corrosion-free contact.
5. Reconnect the battery, clear fault codes and, if required, perform throttle/pedal adaptation or calibration using a diagnostic tool to ensure correct idle and driveability. Verify cruise control and kickdown functions during a controlled test drive.

Why This Part Fails Most Often

Mechanical wear and electrical degradation are the most common causes: constant movement abrades the potentiometer track, dust and moisture accelerate wear, and connector corrosion or wiring damage leads to intermittent signals. Vehicles used in humid or coastal environments, or those exposed to heavy contamination inside the cabin, are more prone to premature pedal sensor failure.

Compatibility Notes

Why This Part Fails

Accelerator pedal potentiometers and modules typically fail due to electrical contact wear, contamination or mechanical fatigue. Common causes include:

• Wear of internal potentiometer tracks leading to intermittent or drifting voltage signals.
• Corrosion or water ingress to the connector or sensor electronics.
• Mechanical damage from impacts, excessive pedal force or broken return springs.
• Accumulated dirt and debris affecting sensor movement and contact surfaces.

Symptoms Of A Faulty Unit

• Unstable or delayed throttle response, hesitation under acceleration.
• Loss or unreliable operation of cruise control and kickdown functions.
• Check engine light related to throttle/pedal position or limp-home mode in drive-by-wire systems.

Replacing the pedal module with a known-good unit typically resolves the above symptoms. After replacement, ensure the pedal is calibrated if the vehicle manufacturer requires an adaptation step to restore full functionality.
