I was going to send him a pedal unit from here. I might have an old one or I’ll make him one of my new ones. What is throwing me off is that it appears FS1 is working fine. Pedal up/ start brings display to normal (0mph and no errors). Then pedal press goes straight to -11. Pedal up again, goes back to 0mph. ---

Yes, a mechanical pedal may fix, whatever it is. ---

The sensor I got is no good. - Pin 7 - 0v no matter what the throttle is at - Pin 3 - 4.6 no matter what the throttle is at @Inwo , when you said you could “try an aftermarket sensor on my pedal,” what sensor is that, and where can I get one? Perhaps it would also make sense for me to send you my sensor? I’m definitely into doing whatever @Inwo and @AssyRequired suggest. Right now, I don’t even care if I have a working pedal; if I can plug a sensor in and turn it by hand and see the wheels turn without an error code I’d be happy. ---

Right, just not the right sensor for this. I’m not totally sure what you mean on why one sensor that works with a T4 may or may not work with mine but I trust you since you know your stuff and I don’t. Is this what you mean I could try: Cut the wire at pin 3 just above the 23-pin connector. Splice to a wire, run it to the cab to a switch, then run that to B- on the PSDM? Switch off for startup, flip it on prior to throttle? ---

I suppose you can try, but I don’t think it will work in this case. The instance where I used this hack was for a -11 at KeyON and it would not clear. Breaking the wire going to P3 for a moment cleared the -11 and connecting it right before going allowed the car to go. In you case, the pedal is working properly when up and key on. ---
