Throttle sensor on Dice
 

I have a Volvo V50 T5 2009 just done a check with vida and all appears to be ok no fault codes, however when I did a check on the throttle position it only goes up to 50-55% when on the carpet. is this normal when the car is sitting with the engine off as I do not want to try it with the engine on. I have felt it is not a lively as it was.

first things first

does the car drive properly and respond to the throttle as you would expect, if so "dont mess"

Car mats , fitted or not ?

Correct mats for the car ?

Bunched up under the pedal ?

Other detritus or "stuff" under the pedal

Is the top of the pedal Free to move through its Full arc or is there something stopping it under the vanity panels above the pedals ?

The car feels down on power like some days there is not 230 horses, when I bought it a year ago it was like a missile but now its like its been tamed. nothing been added carpet wise and nothing floating around. I have noticed that when testing if I lift my foot back slightly it jumps to 75% and then back to 50ish. Am I right in suspecting the pedal position sensor

yeps that would be a good place to start if it isnt reading as per it should

i have V50 1.6 d i have similar problem only vida shows my trotle position about 68% and fullforce pressing it go to 70 maximum... is that normal i wonder too

Hi
I can only confirm that in my case throttle position reported by Vida is full 0-100% value.
see shot from one of test runs below:

Where is this 'full 100%' value?

All I see is a measly 99.61 ;)

On a serious note, position sensor is a good call to start.

I backed down 0.39% of throttle because of pedestrian crossing, you know, just to be safe.... :tounge_smile:
