explained in detail in a video. This should clear up some of the confusion and give Toyota owners a better insight into the problem. All caused by a bushing that is mass produced by a vendor. Enjoy the video

Good find. Thanks for sharing.

 

I have a problem with the throttle sticking to the floor, but its caused by my right foot as a side effect of that sexy IS-F sound.

 

^^ Haha

Nice

 

some of you may or may not have seen this fix from Toyota. The video shows a Toyota Master Tech inserting the new shim and the checkpoints he makes after the install, both hardware and software. Looks good to me, lets see if this will fix it.

Are those recalled pedals drive by wire?

 

No, thus the voltage readings he was checking near the end of the 2nd vid. linked... those are used to scale where you are on the pedal. There will also be a (voltage based) "Throttle Position Sensor" under the hood that checks what would, in an old school car, be the other end of the throttle cable. TPSs are occasionally a cause of "drivability" issues where the car "stutters" or won't maintain a certain throttle position.

My understanding is almost no modern car has drive/throttle by wire anymore due to all the electronics involved in determining what the car should "really" do.

 

Both systems use a wire, it's just what it's made of and how it's used that's different.
