Pedal Throttle Position Sensor For Mitsubishi Lancer Outlander MR578861 MR578862

Pedal Throttle Position Sensor for Mitsubishi

This pedal throttle position sensor for Mitsubishi monitors accelerator pedal input to regulate engine throttle control, referencing part numbers MR578861 and MR578862.

Overview

This pedal throttle position sensor converts the physical movement of the accelerator pedal into an electrical signal for the engine control unit. The pedal throttle position sensor is critical for maintaining precise throttle response and preventing engine hesitation. It is intended for mechanics diagnosing throttle response delays or limp-mode conditions.

Built For Performance

• Constructed with high-grade internal contacts for consistent signal generation.
• Engineered to resist wear from continuous physical rotation.
• Features a direct plug-in connector that matches the original wiring harness.
• Provides accurate voltage output curves to ensure smooth acceleration.

Fits These Machines

• for Mitsubishi Lancer
• for Mitsubishi Outlander

On-The-Job Use

• Replacing worn-out throttle sensors causing erratic idle or engine stalling.
• Restoring immediate acceleration response in vehicles with laggy pedals.
• Clearing accelerator pedal position circuit codes from the diagnostic system.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this sensor require calibration after installation? A: Some vehicles require a throttle relearn procedure to calibrate the idle position after replacing this sensor.

Q: What are the common symptoms of a failing pedal position sensor? A: Hesitation, poor throttle response, sudden drops in engine speed, or a check engine light are common symptoms.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
