Description
HELLA Accelerator Pedal for Citroën and Peugeot Vehicles
High-quality HELLA accelerator pedal assembly designed for a range of Citroën and Peugeot models. This electronic throttle pedal (drive-by-wire) is frequently sought under part numbers 9671433780, 1601CW or 1601Z7 and is aimed at professional technicians and experienced DIYers who service Stellantis vehicles. The unit supplies the drive-by-wire system with precise position signals to control engine response and fuel delivery, ensuring smooth throttle modulation and reliable idle control.
Application And Compatibility
Designed for use on various Citroën and Peugeot models including Citroën C-Elysée, Citroën C3 II, Citroën C3 III, DS3, Peugeot 207, Peugeot 301 and Peugeot 308. Always identify the part by the product code when searching to improve compatibility matching. This pedal is a plug-in electronic sensor assembly for vehicles equipped with electronic throttle control.
Function And Symptoms Of Failure
The accelerator pedal houses position sensors that translate your foot movement into an electrical signal for the engine control unit. When faulty, common symptoms include erratic throttle response, limp-home mode, warning lights on the dashboard (Throttle/Check Engine), reduced engine power or poor idle behaviour. Electrical faults or mechanical damage to the pedal can lead to delayed or inconsistent throttle input.
How The Part Is Replaced
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake and disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work.
- Remove lower dash trim or footwell covers to access the pedal assembly.
- Unplug the electrical connector from the pedal—inspect for corrosion or damaged pins.
- Remove mounting fasteners and extract the pedal assembly from its bracket.
- Install the new pedal, secure the fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque values, and reconnect the electrical connector.
- Reconnect the battery. In most cases the pedal is plug-and-play; if fault codes are present or throttle adaptation is required, perform diagnostics and adaptation with an appropriate scan tool.

Mounting Recommendation
Always disconnect the battery before beginning work. Use proper trim tools to avoid breaking clips when accessing the pedal. Tighten mounting bolts to the vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque. After fitting, clear stored fault codes and carry out a throttle adaptation or calibration with a diagnostic tool if required to ensure correct pedal response and idle stability. Inspect connector seals and wiring for damage before reassembly.
Why This Part Commonly Fails
Failures are usually caused by sensor wear, contamination (water or dirt ingress), connector corrosion or physical damage from impact. Prolonged exposure to moisture or improper handling during repairs can accelerate electrical faults. Repeated mechanical stress and high mileage increase the likelihood of gradual sensor degradation.
Notes For Professionals And DIYers
This accelerator pedal is aimed at technicians and competent DIY customers who can follow safe workshop procedures. Searching by the product code (9671433780 / 1601CW / 1601Z7) will improve the chance of finding the correct replacement for the specific vehicle application. Keep wiring harnesses and connectors clean and properly routed to avoid premature wear.
