Hi Alex! I’ve had the same problem with p0220 along with p1046 and p100B. Do you think this indicates a problem with the pedal itself or the wiring around it? The car also goes into limp mode and the warning light for electrical malfunction pops up as well. Thanks!
top man , hopefully fixes my Clio ! My Clio is running lumpy , not revving past 2500 when driving , Friend who broke Clio's and sold on eBay said this was his number one selling item!
Thank you :) Yeah very common issue on them. Always been this part. Never had problem with wiring... so im 80% sure if will fix most of the problems ;)
Thanks so much for taking the time to post Alex. Very helpful video - even down to showing where the OBC port is. You just save me a shed load of time. Thanks again :-)
Hi Alex, So thanks for this video- You say it only takes 50min to install the accelerator position sensor. Is this correct? I have a 2003 renault clio and I need this done for me car. I live in NZ and I cant find a Accelerator position sensor anywhere. Do you know any cheap parts where your from? Thanks
Hi Alex i have a clio 2003 1.2l 16v (BB05) p0220 and p0110 i change the IAT sensor with new one but still have fault code and goes on limp mode (not in highway) what would i do and if i need a new pedal acelerator can you give me the code of the part? Thank you so much
Great Video thank you...…. will this work on diesels as well ? I have a 2008 Grand Espace 2.0 150bhp diesel when i try to start it the car tries to start but does not tick over i am getting this error on the diagnostics machine
Hi Alex I have a p0638 code bank 1 throttle position sensor.Put it in garage they changed the throttle body and are still trying to repair it 3 days later I m still waiting.You any ideas a Clio campus 1.2 petrol 2008 model was ok until I changed the battery as it sat in the drive for a while and needs a battery.What do you recommend.
Hi there. Have they chacked the connection on the plug first? Also have they had a look at the throttle body itself to see if its not blocked up or seizing up? I recommend checking the wiring on it and getting voltage reading to see if its getting feed and 5v signal. If its not getting 5v signal to throttle body that can be due to many different things including broken wires. Once I had one that had an issue with A/C sensor on the condenser that had humidity in it and was messing up the whole system and not providing enough voltage.
Hey buddy. I am having this p0120 throttle position switch A circuit malfunction and p1525 air bypass valve system.. would this the fault at the pedal accelerator? Ever since carrying out a clutch job.. ive had injector circuit malfunction on injector 1 3 4. Injecto 2 was replaced last year with new one. Abs wheel speed sensor fault on front right and the 2 left right rear sensor which is causing check hill start assist.. prior to clutch job car ran daily normal.. thats why all these faults are very random
@AlexTheGrumpyOne your on the right path bud. I thought exactly the same.. i cleaned up all my abs wheel speed sensors today wen i was rotating the tyres and lord n behold there was rocks and wood sitting in the nooks next to the ring that holds the sensor i guess just rocks rattling around cause enuff movement to throw off the sensors reading.. we shall see for now if light stays off. New issue today is my canbus is faulty causing me to unable to ready obd2 codes.. the only ground i can see that i know of that i removed during clutch job was the ground on the TL4 gearbox.. other than that i didnt touch any other ground
mine has done this a couple of times now and i have a scanner and originally it came up with P0790 generic code then 2 weeks later it gave me P0225/switch c, i wiggled the connector under the steering column and the electrical fault light went out, which could be a coincidence, but could it be that bit of wiring and not the pedal itself? don't want to change the pedal and still have the fault, and was just wondering if i check the wiring over properly and the fault goes away i may save myself from changing the pedal. thanks
Yes you can also use diagnostic tool to check the values and percentage of the movement and what voltage it's sending out and getting in. Then if you get wiring diagram you can check all the wires and voltages and resistance and etc to make sure it's the sensor or not. French cars are always mad... You can't just assume that it's the sensor. Once I had fault like that caused by air con pressure sensor... I know doesnt make any sense... But it's French:(
Hi Alex , i have a clio 2 i.4 16v and it wont rev at all. No acceleration with engine warning light on. Do you reckon changing the throttle pedal might help?
Good day Alex ive got a few questions for you. peugeot 206 160i 16v 2002 model the following codes popped up p0121 p0120 p0200 p0220 p0225. car does start battling to idle and doesnt rev up at all. accelerator pedal works on cable then connects to an electric switch that pulses to the throttle body. could it be a cause of a bad throttle body? seems like all the codes refers to the throttle body?
Hi Alex I got the same problem with this part, however my friend has the same scanner as the one you have the only code that has cone up is DF196 pedal sensor circuit gang 1 can you help as to what it could be I'm guessing that the pedal sensor might need replacing however I did replace it with a second hand part but only noticed a small difference in acceleration. Cheers
@@AlexTheGrumpyOne Hi ok after giving the inside and the contacts a good clean the vehicle seemed to run a little bit better but still feels jerky, might be because I opened the sensor without labelling it on the sides so the wires that makes contact inside don't feel right next bet I'm thinking of replace the part also I don't know if that helps cleat the code but I waited for 5 minutes after taking of the positive terminal from the battery, but still same problem. Note: the other part I found didn't have the same part number from my previous one I guess I'll just have to replace the part with another one and see what happens thank you
Hey, i just changed the whole pedal sensor assembly and after clearing the codes it seemed fine, they stopped showing up however on the first 25m of the test drive, it had same symptoms aka no acceleration and got the error again.
No it's usually not a problem with pedal. It's problem with wiring/contacts oxidation or/and minus shorting. Check pedal with oscilloscope connect to source 1/2 and signal 1/2. Hella parts are usually of high and much better quality then the rest of Clio's wiring.
hello mate got same prob with mine, put second hand pedal on it worked for a bit ( they are as rare as hens teeth to get) when going faulty i unplug it / plug it back in and it goes ok for a bit ya think its just bad connections and idea of wiring schematics for pedal , what you mean by minus shorting any info would be great renaul kangoo 1.5 dci 2004
I've replaced my pedal and idles slightly better now, though when i turn the car over the pedal doesn't work at all!! Any thoughts on this Alex? Dodgy wiring, ecu, throttle body etc.. TIA, Sam
Have you reset the vehicle? Cleaned all the fault codes? Maybe disconnect battery first for 10 min. No faults on throttle body? Have you cleaned the plug?
@@AlexTheGrumpyOne the ecu was taught to relearn pedal on old one and tried disconnecting battery and turning lights on to drain residual power. (eml went out for a little while) The only codes that come up on my cheap obd reader are the open circuit ones.

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne how would I know whether its auto or manual learning? And brand new one! Not sure what wires to check as there's so many it could be.
Hi it can be due to oil temperature, level or pressure. This the easier case pretty much. Can also indicate a fault with it. I would recommend checking level and also getting a diagnostic scan on it.
