Gas Pedal and Sensor Replacement

  • Materials Required

    • 5MM Allen Key
  • Locate Gas Pedal

    The accelerator pedal will be on the driver side, next to the brake pedal.

  • Loosen Retention Nut

    Using a 5MM allen key, loosen the single retention nut by turning it counter-clockwise.

  • Lift Gas Pedal

    With the 5MM allen bolt removed, simply lift upward and forward to pull the assembly from the retention clip at the rear.

  • Unplug Electrical Connector

    Unplug the electrical connector at the rear of the pedal by depressing the two side mounted clips.

  • *NOTE

    If replacing the entire pedal assembly, simply install new one in the vice versa of removal. If replacing only the sensor, keep reading.

  • Loosen 2 Torx Screw

    Loosen the 2 Torx screws holding the sensor onto the assembly. Depending on the vehicle trim, sizing may vary, but in most cases this will be a T-5/T-10.

  • Install New Sensor

    Install new gas pedal sensor in the vice versa of removal.

  • Re-Plug Electrical Connector

    Replug the electrical connector back into the assembly. This connector is symmetrical and can be plugged in any way.

  • *NOTE

    There is a clip located at the rear of the brake pedal. This clip ensures the pedal doesn't move during use. The gas pedal will need to be re-clipped to this.

  • Reseat Pedal Assembly

    Lift the brake pedal up and secure it onto the clip to reseat the assembly. Once properly installed, the retention bolt will align, and the pedal will sit snugly in place without any side-to-side movement.

  • Install New Screw

    The gas pedal retention bolt is made of aluminum and is on-time-use. It's highly recommended to replace this bolt with a new one.

  • Torque Bolt

    Hand-tighten the bolt until it's snug in place. Do not over-tighten as it does not need much torque.

  • Test Start Car

    Test start the car to ensure the new gas pedal sensor is functional.

  • Rev The Engine

    Test the new gas pedal / sensor by turning on the vehicle and revving the engine, taking special note of the responsiveness and any delays.
