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 D10N, D11R, D8L, D9L, D9N, and D9R. The sensor ensures accurate throttle response and stable engine operation in demanding applications.
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 track-type tractors, including the D10N, D11R, D8L, D9L, D9N, and D9R. Replacing a faulty throttle position sensor restores proper engine governor control and prevents loss of power.

Good To Know
Q: What happens if I ignore a faulty throttle position sensor? A: A worn sensor can cause poor fuel economy, rough idling, and even sudden power loss. Replacing it promptly prevents further strain on the engine control system.
Q: Is this sensor compatible with the entire D-series lineup? A: Fitment is specific to the D8L, D9L, D9N, D9R, D10N, and D11R models. Confirm your machine's serial number to ensure correct matching of the connector and mounting geometry.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
