    Recently purchased one and for those who have installed the throttle controller I ask this question:

    Did the harness plug that actually connects to the pedal fully lock into the plug? The harness I purchased (Toyota version) doesn't seem to want to sit all the way up against it, and once powered up it just flashed and threw the "check hybrid system" warning haha. I tried a couple of times but did not want to risk damaging anything.

    Any answers are more than welcome. Take care everyone

    Yes sir,

    Directly ordered from Apexi as well, I double checked for any bent pins/misaligned plug but just doesn't seem to want to get on there haha, super simple install turning into troubleshooting

    Wrap a zip tie around it to hold the connector together.

    I debated that since it mentions something similar in the actual instructions but I like a challenge so I ordered an actual bare plug for the petal and I'm just gonna swap the plug off the harness to that and re-pin it... Ya figure you pay that kinda money it would be spot on plug and play haha

    Thanks for the replies y'all
