Throttle Position Sensor 266-1466 for Caterpillar
This throttle position sensor, with OEM cross-reference number 266-1466, is a direct replacement component that monitors the throttle valve position and relays that data to the engine control module for precise fuel delivery. It is designed for Caterpillar models including the 525C, 535C, 545C, 613G, and 621B. The sensor ensures smooth acceleration and consistent engine response under varying load conditions.
Overview
This throttle position sensor 266-1466 is a critical electrical component that converts mechanical throttle movement into an electronic signal for the engine computer. It is intended for use on several Caterpillar machines, including the 525C, 535C, 545C, 613G, and 621B. Replacing a worn throttle position sensor restores accurate throttle response and prevents erratic idle or hesitation.

Good To Know
Q: How do I know if my throttle position sensor is failing? A: Common symptoms include erratic idle, hesitation on acceleration, or a check engine light. Testing with a multimeter can verify the sensor's voltage output against the throttle angle.
Q: Can this sensor be installed without special tools? A: Yes, basic hand tools are typically sufficient for removal and installation. Always disconnect the battery and clean the mounting area before replacing the sensor.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
