Do you mean the accelerator pedal position sensor, aka the throttle position sensor or TPS?

If so, that is in the accelerator pedal assembly, and requires changing the whole pedal as the sensor is built in and requires calibration etc if swapped (if the sensor itself can even be changed..).

It's super simple to change the assembly, just remove the cover under the drivers side dash (like 4-5 screws, remove hood latch handle which slides out via a channel and remove OBD2 connector which slides off) and then it's held on with just one, 10mm nut on the floor.

you sure it comes built in? I ordered the sensor itself and I don’t see why they would sell a lone sensor if it in fact did come with the pedal assembly. ( assembly cost 140, sensor was about same price.) just want to be sure before I order the pedal assembly

Depending on your chassis number, it's one of these:

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...dal-2113001304

My car personally used a slightly different pedal to both iirc, I think my part number was 203 300 07 04 (probably the same as the first link but superceeded)

The sensor is that black square on the side with the white border.

You can try to replace it with the one you bought, but typically the whole assembly is replaced.

I’m from the 559 too, you must be my twin I keep hearing about? I’m going through the same-ish thing, p0102 code for the TPS. Replaced my pedal assembly which comes with the sensor but still getting the same code, but now it’s going into ESP/ limp mode. So went to the next step and I’m currently replacing with a 82mm TB.

The assembly with the c55 looking pedals says it fits the other says doesn’t. But I’m gonna try and replace the sensor, see if it fixes the issue.
