The Truth About The Pedal Trick
« on: 15 July 2009, 18:52:17 »

At the risk of being severely berated, opinions please on what the pedal trick actually works on. It's stated on here so many times that it does not work on a 2.2, but I know for a fact that it works on mine because I've done it. I was led to believe that it works on any engine with the drive by wire (throttle with no cable). Anybody going to back me up here who has also flashed the codes off a 2.2

ive tried it on 3 2.2's  and none of them worked.


So as far as I can tell..

3.2 & 2.6 Always work
2.2 may work apparently.

also, where all 2.2's should work with any generic obd code reader, ours didnt.

May be related.

May be several 2.2 ECU types / revisions

wondering if some faults dont allow the pedal trick to work, for instance when fitting my lpg, i neglected to re plug in the dbw plug to throttle body. When turning the key for the first time, rather panicked with no pedal response, and pedal tricked to find the issue, light just went out, no flashing at all.

Remembered, after a sudden "comfort break", re plugged and all was well. Obviouse the pedal trick wont work if the drive by wire is unplugged as you have to press the gas pedal to perform said trick.
presume brake light switch is the same?

a mate has a fl 2.0 with breaked abs ecu that wont paper clip for instance , light just goes out as mine did, beleive its obd2 also??


So.... is it possible 2.2s have been tetsted with one of these faults in the past to find no flashing?..... But surely somone has tried it before now at some stage? Thinking about it, i am sure TB tested pedal trick at WIM Open day on a 2.2 after fitting cruise control, didnt work obviously.

ps, presume no fault will give constant flashing, so no need to induse a fault to test? ...but would be belt and brases i guess  :-/

also...im under the impression its ecu specific, rightly or wrongly?

As said, no need to introduce a fault, the light should just keep flashing.
