– Direct plug & play replacement without modification
– Redundant (double) sensor for safe operation
– Addresses RPM fluctuations, worse throttle response, safe mode and APP errors
OEM and catalog numbers
– PSA: 1601.Z7 (1601Z7)
– PSA: 9681844480
– Manufacturer: HELLA
Note: The number on your original part must match or be fully interchangeable.

Typical fault symptoms that this part addresses
– Delayed or irregular throttle response
– Activation of emergency mode (reduced power)
– OBD fault codes: e.g. P0120-P0124, P0220, P2138 (APP signal mismatch)
– Unstable idling when pressing/releasing the pedal
Installation recommendations
– Before replacing, disconnect the battery and check the wiring and the connector (oxidation, loose pins)
– Replace the entire pedal module as a set
