Pedal Commander! Awesomeness!

So does Pedal Commander not maintain certifications in English as well?

But duh.... obviously not. Turkish isn't good enough for you. I'm sure the government has the English versions

...Pedal Commander is very simple, it speeds up the signal sent from the TPS to the ETB, which is then sent to the ECU to determine how much to open the throttle valve (dependent on which mode you're in). BUT this is only in effect when the TPS is being actively used AKA when pressure is being applied to the gas pedal. If the pedal is stationary at 0% (such as when you’re coasting, applying the brakes, using cruise control, etc) the Pedal Commander has absolutely no effect on anything to your vehicle.



Thanks for the description.

essentially, it’s a signal amp. it’s obviously a bit more sophisticated, but in essence what you’re saying is 1.25 x 0 still = 0.

Not really addressed to Jax, but ...
So... what if the ECU is trying to adjust for low idle or low rpm like when AC is dragging the motor?

I'd just like to say that if you guys have real questions about testing...chat with JMS about the PedalMax. They seem to know their stuff and are willing to talk with you in English about what testing they do.

Correct - wasn’t JMS the original designer of these and worked with Roush on them? They offer the pedalmax and boostmax currently.

Yes and they are a reputable oem parts manufacturer. They can provide documents proving that their products have passed 20+point production parts testing. Not in Turkish. But English. They are happy to provide it whereas this company is not

Here's a quick quote of what I was told:

Yes we perform electro magnetic compatibility testing on many of our products, especially products that interface directly with the vehicle control system. We perform up to as many as 20+ unique tests based on the type of product and who the customer is. An OEM may require all 20+ tests to be completed as part of the standard PPAP process. I some cases we perform all of the tests at our labs, in other cases the tests may be via ourselves and a third-party lab. In the case of PedalMAX and BoostMAX those are ECM tested as part of the standard DFMEA, since they could/would be used by an OEM. GM does the most stringent testing I believe, and we have had to make some upgrades to our hardware for 2016 and newer Ford vehicles that are very noisy with a lot of EMI.

As well as:

we are a tier 1 supplier to many OEM and tier 1 supplier to other OEM suppliers as well.

They seem very forthcoming and I've had a good chat with them thus far, thinking of making a switcheroo.

So there is a safe alternative for the Pedal Commander, with customer service reps that don’t treat their customers like total shit? Interesting, maybe we need to have vendors that care enough about our safety to look into such things.....?

Pretty sure it was pedalmax that got a string of spectacular failures on the new Raptors. or was it boostmax?

Yes. We also sell JMS but every one of those we sold we had to refund our customers. JMS was aware of the issues and was cool about accepting the returns.

I imagine that Cory (aka Gilligan) might of had a defective unit on his as I have had mine for over a year and have never had an issue. But if Cory was so concerned with safety of others, then why did he put it for sale on FRF and sell it to endanger someone else's life if what he says is true?
