Installing a pedal sensor on my Jeep JK

It’s a Jeep thing

[@mattduncan8168]

I just replaced mine and I also had a throttle controller and was thinking the same thing. It was a real pain to get to the top nut. Video was helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for that instructional video. This will help when I have to change mine. You can get OEM parts, half as much, from Autozone, and there's a life time warrantee on them. Got my JK about 3.5years ago, and I'm experiencing two problems at this time. I have clicking when I open the door, and I'm pretty sure a wheel speed sensor malfunctioning. I've watched many JK parts videos where this part, and that part goes bad. Just hope my JK doesn't experience all these problems! The Jeep I bought was a Certified Used from a dealer, but you never know how the person took care of the vehicle. I am an avid maintainer on my vehicles, so I hope it doesn't nickel, and dime me to death! Great video. Thanks!

I can tell you with 99% certainty without even hearing the clicking that happens when you open your door that the faulty part causing the issue (clicking) is an actuator within the HVAC system. There is an actuator at the blend door where air is either pulled from outside or inside on the passenger side and either one or two more that correspond to different HVAC settings. The actuator is broken and cannot spin its plastic gears but continues to try which causes the clicking noise. The actuators are “actuated” or “turned on” before the key is ever inserted in the ignition and attempts to calibrate its position. You may sometimes hear the clicking after driving and turning the ignition off, shutting the doors but staying inside, and waiting for 15 minutes or so. If the light on the defrost knob blinks after firing the Jeep up and the HVAC is turned on but does nothing while the light blinks, I change from 99% certainty to 100% certainty this is the diagnosis. Good luck!

Great video. Only one small feedback for you. The “code” (2 sec on 10 sec off) thing…. You don’t start the engine. You turn key to the “on position” 2 sec the off 10 sec. Then key to “on position” then off 10 sec. Then turn to “on position” for 3 seconds and immediately fully depress pedal 5 times in 5 seconds then wait 7 seconds and then press gas pedal down fully for 20 seconds or until check engine light STOPS flashing/blinking. Then crank the engine and verify it’s idling properly.

I own a 07 JK 3.8 L. It had a stereo amplifier under steering column. Removed the 2 wire connectors in back of it. Removed front bolt. Then slide it out. That opened up area. Had to remove the wire harness fastener from firewall located above pedalal nut. Then was able to get to upper nut. Reinstalled every thing good Prior to this installed, I installed new throttle body. Also replaced wore out 6 wire throttle body connector.

Throttle pedal position sensor e & d for jeep jk was the code

[@MegaHowtoMan]

Great video. Very helpful. This part is $120. Did your Jeep go into limp mode?

[@psychotik7431]

Yes it did

[@adolfogarcia1970]

Hey. Buddy the new pedal fix your issue with your jk , because I am having the same problem, I also got the jeep commander I was think it’s was the pedal commander. Please let me know

[@stevenritley4610]

Same thing here. Replaced the throttle body twice, had the dealer relearn procedure done, and now I'm just gonna throw a pedal at it as well as my wallet I guess. Hope it fixes it finally.

[@jerclem57]

im having the same issue to right now, and have a commander, which some are saying is the issue

[@mattduncan8168]

Yes. It fixed the issue and I didn’t put the throttle responder back on.

[@theBlueseven]

Just happened to my jeep code said sensor d & e???what did your check engine read

[@erichampton2834]

Hi on the comander did that fix your problem? Please let me know driving me crazy

[@psychotik7431]

Yes it did

[@robertpuma4434]

Did you have to calibrate anything with that gas pedal

[@psychotik7431]

Nope

[@robertfox8654]

@@psychotik7431 that's a bold faced lie. You replace the pedal position sensor, or the throttle body and you have to perform the relearn or the engine will idle at about 3k rpm.

[@francismwila639]

My jeep failed to relearn after replacing pedal sensor. Now just parked in the backyard not sure what to do with it

[@robertfox8654]

Take it to a dealer. They have the scan tool that can perform the accelerator pedal position sensor relearn and make it idle correctly
