Benefast 699-199 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Assembly – OE Replacement for Honda/Acura (2003-2011)

Overview

Benefast presents the 699-199 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Assembly, a key component that translates how far you press the pedal into a precise throttle signal. As you depress the gas, the sensor sends an electronic message to open the throttle body; when you ease up, it reports pedal position back to the engine control unit (ECU) to guide fuel delivery and throttle response. This replacement part is designed to match OEM specifications, offering broad compatibility across multiple Honda and Acura models from the early 2000s through the early 2010s.

The APP sensor is positioned to monitor pedal travel and relay real-time information to the ECU, helping the engine manage acceleration and deceleration in concert with driver input. While it is intended as a direct replacement, conditions like high heat near the floorboard and firewall can contribute to sensor wear over time, which is why a correct OE-fit is important for maintaining consistent throttle behavior.

Key benefits

• Precise pedal input translates into measured throttle response via the ECU, supporting smooth acceleration and deceleration.
• Direct OE-style replacement designed to fit a wide range of Honda/Acura models, with OE reference numbers to verify compatibility.
• Helps maintain a stable signal path between pedal position and the engine management system, even in environments with high heat near the firewall.
• OE part references and common replacement codes provide clear fit guidance before purchase, reducing guesswork.
• Replacing a worn APP sensor can help preserve coordinated throttle control without modifying the engine design.

Compatibility and replacement notes

• Fits: 2003-2007 Accord, 2003-2006 MDX, 2004-2008 TL/TSX, 2005-2006 CR-V, 2007-2011 Element, 2005-2008 Pilot, 2006-2014 Ridgeline, among others per OE references.
• OE numbers: 37971-RBB-003, 37971-PZX-003, 37971-RCA-A01, 37971-RDA-A01; replacement codes include 5S8776, APS147, PPS1046, 72-7080, 1802-300281, 2-80046, SU10238, 699-199.
• Note: Sensor location in the passenger footwell area exposes it to heat; proper replacement helps maintain signal integrity.

Real-world use and installation notes

In daily driving, a compatible APP sensor can contribute to a more predictable driving experience—from city commutes to highway merging—by providing reliable throttle input to the ECU. The installation mirrors the OEM geometry, which can simplify reattachment to the throttle linkage and mounting points. For best results, verify fit using the OE numbers listed above, ensuring the replacement matches your vehicle’s specific requirements.

Additional context

While not a guarantee of performance, replacing a fatigued or heat-aged APP sensor is a practical step toward restoring the intended throttle signal path. Consider the sensor as part of routine maintenance to help keep engine management and fuel delivery aligned with driver input.
