There is no external TPS sensor on the gas pedal itself for the hemis. The TPS is built into the throttle body component itself. You can calibrate the TB though through the steps I posted earlier. You do however have a cable that runs from your gas pedal back to the APP sensor which is under your battery tray. APP sensor = Accelerator Pedal Position sensor which tells the PCM what angle the accelerator pedal is at and then the PCM tells the throttle body to posistion the throttle plate accordingly. Adjustable pedals also tend to have the APPS right on the pedal. I doubt the APPS is the problem but if you take the truck in, make sure they check it if a new MAP sensor doesnt work. Here's some info on the MAP sensor. Once I get outside I can take a better picture for you if you need it. 5.7L V-8 The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is mounted to the front of the intake manifold air plenum box (Fig. 24). Rotate sensor 1/4 turn counter-clockwise for removal. Rotate sensor 1/4 turn clockwise for installation. And like OSO said, you can try the key trick to find a code. Sometimes it will store codes and not actually display the light. The key trick wont work on all 04s, like mine, but it does on the newer 04s.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE GAS PEDAL. JAMES (OSO) FOUND ONE FOR ME AT THE JUNKYARD FOR 50 BUCK AND PROBLEM WAS FIXED BASICALLY BUY THE WHOLE GAS PEDAL
depends on the gas pedal. I believe if you have adjustable pedals then you gotta get the little box thats on the side of the pedal or the whole pedal itself. #1 is the APP sensor If you have a normal gas pedal, then the sensor is under the battery. You will need to buy the whole assembly though, sensor and cable together but you dont need a new gas pedal. #1 shows the apps cable at the pedal. This is where the APP Sensor is located if you've got a regular gas pedal This is to say if the APPS is even your problem.
so far - nothing has worked, i am on the phone with dodge now to see if i can get the sensor that controls the peddle scan showed the throttle is stuck closed - voltage too high - all ETC codes
I have never seen one just fail now i have replaced two one for being under water and the other from bad wiring for nitrous install. Good luck hope that fixes it but I would go to the junk yard to get the peddle assembly your going to spend a small fortune at the dealer.
dodge is 265 $ - all i need is the module, ill take some pictures tongiht and post them up maybe im looking at the wrong thing :dontknow:
Its one piece if you are referring to the peddle assembly. you can take the board out of your peddle assembly and check for any visual damage.
And if your 04 is like mine with no adjustable pedal, you will not have the sensor on the side of your gas pedal like with James. It will be under your battery tray connected with a cable from your gas pedal. All you need to do then is buy the module thats under the battery tray if thats what the problem is.
to be honest - the setup that is in the 04 qc that my cuz has - is not like either one of them - there is a cable running off the top of the peddle over the break peddle and then into a little box with a sensor on it leading to the wireing harness what ever it is - is beyond me, the truck was towed to dodge lastnight and is being looked at this morning thanks for all the help, Chris
nah... thanks for the help... the last HEMI i worked on was my rumblebee - but i was nothing like this truck and it was the same year lol i dunno.... :dontknow:
wow, almost sounds like the pedal has been replaced once already. I've only seen it setup the way mine is and james' is. Good luck, let us know what the dealership says.
well it is my truck that Viper (chris) was askin about... it is at the dealer now they cannot get the pcm to communicate with thier diag machine to flash it or do anything....im guessin i am lookin at a new pcm...dodge haqs it for 480 i am not gonna rely on junkyard parts..my only other option is auto computer exchange in fl..they have them referbished for 150 but i havent done any research on this company and dont really trust so prob going throught dodge...i thank you all for ur help and imput on this matter...and we will post when fixed....and btw not a fan of all this electronis what happened to a linkage and cable?????
lookie who's here - hey buddy, i dont know enoff about that ETC crap - ill call Dodge in the AM to see if there is any progress and when it going to be completed - worst case you take the SRT or the Charger till it fixed.... or the Blazer lmao
well got the truck fix - and back in the owner hands,... i still cant beleve this myself - but they said ................ the CAI was pushed on too far on the TB is why is was still acting up the re-calibrate the PCM and adj the CAI and it was running fine
