Description
Accelerator pedal for Citroën C5 and Peugeot 406, 407
High-quality electronic accelerator (throttle) pedal designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. This Bosch unit (part number 0280752241) delivers precise pedal position sensing for reliable drive-by-wire response and smooth engine control. Ideal for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who maintain or repair Stellantis vehicles, the pedal is a common spare part often searched by its product codes, ensuring quick identification and fitment.
Features And Benefits
– Direct replacement for worn or faulty accelerator pedals, restoring accurate throttle response and idle stability.
– Electronic potentiometer / sensor design provides accurate position feedback to the engine control unit for consistent drivability.
– OEM and OE-Equivalent numbering makes this unit easy to find: commonly referenced under Bosch 0280752241 and Stellantis OEM codes.
Compatibility And Application
Designed to fit the following models (check listed part numbers for exact application): Citroën C5; Peugeot 406; Peugeot 407. This pedal is intended for models that use an electronic throttle position sensor (drive-by-wire) and is commonly searched by its part numbers.
How It Works
The accelerator pedal assembly contains position sensors that translate pedal travel into an electrical signal sent to the engine control unit. The ECU interprets this signal to control the throttle body and engine power. A precise and fault-free pedal sensor is essential for smooth acceleration, predictable throttle mapping, and safe vehicle operation.
Why This Part Usually Fails
Common causes of failure include wear of internal sensors or potentiometers, moisture ingress and corrosion, contaminated connectors, mechanical damage to the pedal arm, or wiring harness faults. Symptoms of failure are erratic throttle response, limp-home mode, stored fault codes related to throttle/pedal position, or a poor idle.
Installation Recommendations
– Always disconnect the vehicle battery before starting removal and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety procedures.
– Remove any trim panels or footwell covers to access the pedal assembly.
– Unplug the electrical connector and remove mounting fasteners; compare the replacement part with the old unit before installation.
– Fit the new pedal, tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification, reconnect the electrical connector, and reassemble trim.
– After installation clear any related fault codes and, if required by the vehicle, perform throttle/pedal adaptation or relearn using an appropriate diagnostic tool. Professional diagnostic equipment is recommended for calibration to ensure correct operation.
