That seems weird on the face of it.
Did you try connecting the sensor to the machine harness before installing it on the brake pedal shaft and then rotate the shaft in the centre from one (internal) stop to the other while observing the % output.? You can feel the stops if you just turn it gently with a screwdriver.

Another thought. With the sensor removed can you grab hold of the end of the shaft that turns the sensor guts while someone else presses the brake pedal to confirm that the shaft is actually turning.?

I am struggling to make sense of what is happening. When the sensor is rotated from minimum to maximum signal the duty cycle should change significantly, usually from less than 5% to greater than 95%

Which wires on the machine harness side of the sensor are you connecting to when you measure the duty cycle.?

There are two sensors in close proximity in that area; the brake pedal
position sensor and the decelerator pedal position sensor.

On the machine side of the brake pedal position sensor connector what are the colours (and numbers if you can see them) of the three wires in the machine harness.?

They are black, green, and redish orange. Black has number 998 on itView attachment 289099
That’s the wiring for the decelerator pedal sensor…..

The wires for the service brake pedal position sensor connector on the machine side are 140 Blue, G939 Pink, and F790 Brown.

On the illustration attached, the decelerator position sensor (lower) is #2, the service brake pedal position sensor (upper) is #7.

One reason why the sensors won’t swap is the one operates on an 8v supply from the ECM, the other one operates on a 24v machine voltage supply.

The brake sensor wires are brown, pink and blue. On the decel sensor they are brown, orange and green. This on the harness side. The original brake sensor wires are white, black and orange. The original on the decel sensor are white, black and orange. The new brake sensor wires are white, black and red. The original brake sensor part number was 214 4863. The new updated part number is 266 1478.

Can you see a Part Number anywhere on the decel sensor.?

Please check the following with the key on and the sensors hooked up:-

1. On the decel sensor measure voltage between orange and brown on the machine harness. You should have 8v. Then measure the duty cycle between green & brown with the pedal up and with it down.

2. On the service brake pedal sensor measure voltage between blue and pink on the machine harness. You should have 24v. Then measure the duty cycle between brown & pink with the pedal up and with it down.

Decel number 160 2443.

The volts on decel read 1.873 with duty cycle of 0 up or down.

Service brake volts were 24.17 with duty cycle reading 99.4 up and 99.7 depressed.

Please try this. Start the engine and press the High Idle switch so that the engine goes to full RPM. Does the pressing the decelerator pedal work to control the engine RPM from high to low.?

Also with the engine running measure the supply voltage to the decel pedal sensor.

But it also wasn’t working before (some wiring not connected.?) IIRC.

The thing is that without an 8v supply to the decel pedal sensor I’m pretty sure that it’s not going to work.

Turn the key on and give it 10-15 seconds for the panel self-test to complete. Does the SERV CODE icon come on during the test and does it stay on or go out afterwards.?
