Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor

[crystos]

Hello guys

My car just threw the code for an Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor. I found one on rockauto.com of course this is american. My question is does it matter? Does it install differently on an american car? do i have to find one on a japanese site?

Why don't you drop it out and have a look to compare them. It's only 2 nuts...

I recently went through this drama of APP code. Was the code P2138?

You can get the sensor separately which is cheaper than replacing the whole pedal assembly. Something like this: http://www.cyberspaceautoparts.com.au/contents/en-uk/p19834_Nissan_Throttle_Position_Sensor.html

In my case it turned out to be an issue with low battery voltage which caused issues. Replacing the battery and resetting the ECU followed by the throttle re-learn procedure from the service manual sorted out the problem for me. In fact it happened twice (years apart) and both times seemed to be low battery voltage related.
