My 05 Liberty CRD came up with a P0698 code and the flashing ETC light the other day. There have been no changes in how it drives.
I’ve looked on other forums but can’t find anyone with the same issue. The code stays, but sometimes the ETC light goes away and then comes back. I’ve cleaned the plugins for the accelerator position sensor (also i think where the throttle sensor is) and i’ve cleaned any wires that other forums have talked about. Still no fix.

Again the car drives fine, there’s no power loss, just the annoying lights.

Do I just need to replace the entire pedal?

Any help?

I would. That's a pretty rare failure but anything electronic can fail.

Car was running and driving fine for the past few days with the light on. I went to reverse today and noticed it was sluggish, when i put it in drive the car shook and the engine shut off. The new accelerator pedal gets here tomorrow. Could that be the reason the car shut off?
