Good To Know
Q: Will this sensor work on my R2900 if the wiring harness has been modified? A: The sensor uses the standard 3-pin connector for Caterpillar but check your harness wiring color codes and pinout to ensure compatibility with the 266-1466 standard.
Q: What are common signs that the throttle position sensor needs replacement? A: Erratic idle, hesitation under load, or a check engine light for throttle circuit faults are typical symptoms.
Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
