How Can I Tell If I Have a CTS Pedal

At the time of the accelerator pedal recall early in 2010, Toyota used accelerators from two suppliers. The Japanese supplier was Denso and the American supplier was CTS Automotive Products. The Denso pedals were not recalled. The CTS pedals were. Virtually all Toyota models that are built only in North America, including the Tundra, Avalon, Matrix and Sequoia, were equipped with CTS pedals. Models built in both the U.S. and Japan like the RAV4, Highlander, Corolla and Camry may have been equipped with pedals manufactured by either Denso or CTS.

Instructions

1

Find the vehicle identification number stamped on a small metal plate on the lower corner of the drivers side dashboard.

2

Write down the VIN. If the first character in the VIN is "J", your vehicle was built in Japan and is equipped with a Denso pedal. If the first character is "1", your vehicle has a CTS pedal. If the VIN begin "4T1", you must visually inspect your pedal to determine if it was made by CTS or Denso.

3

Remove the passenger side floor mat and retract the drivers side seat as far to the rear as possible. Crawl under the dash.

4

Inspect the accelerator pedal using a flashlight. Denso pedals have four chrome or silver bolts on the left side of the pedal assembly and are stamped "Denso." CTS pedals have no obvious bolts and have a rectangular, black metal plate on the left side of the accelerator pedal assembly.
