Thank you for this video.my brother told me it would be a long proecess and i got it done in less than 10mins.

Awesome thank you! My Impala 09 was giving a service traction control and an engine power is reduced messages. It happened once before about 4 years ago and as of last week started it again. Same exact dummy lights same sluggish and somewhat hard shifting. I left work today picked up the part and had it in all in less than an hour. Car is snappy and responsive with no traction control light or message. I cycled the key a couple times due to running around to a couple stops and the CEL is now off. The first replacement I paid someone to do but thanks to this video I had the knowledge and confidence to take it myself. Thank you guys! I really appreciate the help!

About to do this on my ‘11 Impala. Gave my daughter the “service traction control” and “service stabilitrak” warnings. Took to to a place to read the codes, and they came up with replacing the accelerator position sensor. Thanks for the walkthrough on this!

Thanks for featuring the 2009 Impala. My son has the exact year and model which has helped me with three featured repairs. Well done guys!

Thanks! Wife’s car just threw those codes. Went to the parts store and made the quick fix. One short trip 3 starts and codes were gone. 2:39

You guys made a great video, please don’t stop, super helpful and easy to learn from

No need to drop the lower trim. Plenty of wire harness to lower the pedal assembly.

[harrydoherty]

Good idea to coat the connector with dielectric grease.

I learned a, lot from your great how to video, Thank you!!

What would be the symptoms of the accelerator pedal needing to be replaced.  I have a 2012 chevy impala and when I am stopped and go to accelerate I heard a sound like something catching in the accelerator and then the car accelerates.  It does not happen consistently and no lights indicate the problem exists.  What could it be???

[chillmoney]

Will this last for a week until a person get paid?

[enriquevelascko]

Thanks guys for great videos w/ you guys i learning too much
And save my wallet 😊👍👌

Is there anything we have to do after replacing the pedal? Do we have to reset anything. Or will it be ready to drive as soon as the part is replaced?

[vfxnessegod]

I changed the part and the code cleared itself but now if i crank and goto drive it tells me that the engine power is reduced and to service traction control, i dont know if i did something wrong or what

[springkordz]

Would be helpful to provide few videos on how to connect your device through Bluetooth or some support videos

Hi, I'm having engine surging while driving only with no check engine light, could it be this or the throttle body?

[joeca]

Can you tell us if you had to do a cut out for the newer upgraded pedal?😊

[sanoflight]

I have an 2008 Chevy Impala LT and while driving the service stabilitrak message comes on and then that gets followed up with a reduced engine power message, it has happened before, I took it in and they said it was fine. When it happened again I was driving on the street and it happened. It went away after a day but today while on the highway it happened again? Any ideas as to what or why?

[GemInEye]

Help please can someone explain to me what he meant about clearing the codes, drive cycle for 45 minutes, and emission? I have the same vehicle but its a 2011 LS Fleet.
