Anti polution error

[steve747]

Hi
my 1.6 16v 206cc 2002 seems to hesitate between gears, i do have a error code of P0121 which is the thottle sensor , can antone tell me if the thottle sensor is part of the Thottle body.
Could you tell me if i need to replace the whole thottle body? or there could any other things to check for this fault.


THANKS
Steve

I think that is the sensor, accelerator pedal - Part no 1920 X1 on my car, but it may be different on yours. Post the last eight digits of your VIN if you want the number for yours. I believe it attaches to the accelerator pedal.

Part No 1920 X1 is the correct part for your car. I found one here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Capteur-posi ... SwpqRaw4Of.

The VDO numbers do agree, so it seems to be the same part.

HI Ian
Did you experience hesitation through the gears.
How do I remove this sensor.
YOU have been a great help thank

[IanL]

I have not had a problem with mine. I don't say your problem is that sensor, just that the throttle sensor you mentioned probably is the accelerator pedal sensor.

I think you unplug the electrical connector, undo the three bolts and remove the pedal, and then remove the sensor from the pedal.

Hi
Had a good look under where the thottle is and there doesnt seem to be a TPS there..

From the watermark, I assume that is a photo not of your car. It is probably of a early 206 with a cable operated throttle. Yours has an electrically-operated throttle, going by the VIN.

Here is an example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-206- ... SwFShauKuf

Hi
The watermark picture is exactly the same as the pedals are on mine..
i will attach my photo

Yours will be cable operated. The sensor is either near the O/S wing or on the bulkhead. Get someone to press throttle and you will see it moving

[IanL]

According to the Service Docs, there is a modification kit to do away with the cable control and fit the electrical pedal. I assumed that had been done. The Docs don't show the position of the sensor.

Hi Guys
I would like to thank everyone for there help on this matter, i have managed to find the location of the FPS sensor , it is on the n/s beside the brake fluid reservoir.
Im guessing that the bracket i have to undo is under the wheel arch . and the sensor is behind the throttle cable connection ..i have attached photos incase this matter comes up again , bare in mind its on a 1.6 16 valve engine 2002..


Thanks Again
Steve
