2016 Renault Fluence: The clutch burnt out after a brake service – limited power on gas
After replacing the brake pads at the service center, a strange problem developed.
The car barely responded when I pressed the gas pedal, severely limiting power (limp mode), but drove normally when I pressed the gas pedal again.
Diagnostics revealed that the brake pedal sensor (the throttle body) had completely burned out.
Apparently, the service center damaged it during work.
I replaced it with a new one (part number 253200005R), adjusted the clearance, and the problem completely disappeared, the throttle response became normal, and the errors disappeared.
If anyone else experiences this problem with limited power after a brake service, check this throttle body first. It's an inexpensive part and can be replaced in 10 minutes.
Has anyone encountered something similar? What errors were returned (P0504, etc.)?
