What Are the Symptoms of Electronic Throttle Pedal Failure?

[VonBriella]

Electronic throttle pedal failure symptoms include abnormal noises when stepping on the pedal or the pedal failing to return to its original position, which is extremely dangerous. Most electronic throttle pedal failures are caused by internal throttle pedal sensor issues. If the throttle pedal sensor malfunctions or is damaged, the warning light will illuminate, and the ECU will be unable to detect the throttle position. This can lead to unstable idle speed, throttle sticking, unresponsive acceleration, and other issues, rendering the vehicle unusable. As a critical component of the electronic throttle control system, the performance of the electronic throttle pedal not only affects the vehicle's power, comfort, fuel economy, and other performance evaluation indicators but also directly impacts driving safety.
