Detailed Product Description

The NTK AD0481 accelerator pedal sensor is designed to deliver accurate pedal position feedback to the vehicle’s engine management system. In applications such as the 2004-2008 Acura TL and 2004-2008 Acura TSX, this sensor helps the throttle control system interpret driver input correctly and maintain smooth electronic throttle operation. The rectangular connector, female terminal design, and blade-style terminals support a direct replacement installation when the original sensor has worn or failed.

NTK positions this sensor line within its broader OE-focused technical sensor portfolio. Drawing from OE experience, the AD0481 is manufactured and tested to support reliable signal output under demanding operating conditions. If you are searching for an accelerator pedal position sensor for 2004-2008 Acura TL or 2004-2008 Acura TSX, AD0481 is the matching NTK part number to reference.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition APS147 for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor May Address

• Erratic or inconsistent accelerator pedal response
• Throttle input signal faults stored in the vehicle computer
• Reduced drivability caused by a worn pedal position sensor
• Intermittent hesitation during pedal movement
• Warning lights related to accelerator pedal position feedback

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting bracket style before installation. The AD0481 uses a rectangular female connector with 6 blade terminals, so matching the original electrical interface is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle application against the 2004-2008 Acura TL and 2004-2008 Acura TSX fitment data before replacement.

After installation, clear any stored fault codes and perform a throttle relearn or calibration procedure if required by the vehicle service information. Inspect the pedal assembly and wiring connector for wear, corrosion, or damage that could affect sensor performance.

Quality Assurance

NTK manufactures this sensor to meet or exceed OE specifications and validates technical sensors through thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification testing. That OE-based development approach supports consistent performance in the Acura TL and Acura TSX applications listed for AD0481.
