How to Find Your Throttle Controller Plug
A plug-and-play throttle controller only works if its plug matches the connector on your accelerator pedal. Plugs vary between makes, between generations of the same model, and sometimes between markets. This guide shows you how to check yours in a few minutes, and lists the plug each of our live product pages shows.
Step 1: Know your exact vehicle
- Model and generation code, e.g. Hilux N80, Ranger PX3, LandCruiser 200, Prado J150.
- Build date, from the build or compliance plate (often in the door jamb or engine bay). Facelifts and updates often land mid-year, so the year on your rego may not be enough.
- Market: Australian-delivered, NZ-new, Japanese import, Gulf/GCC-spec or another region.
- Engine, because a few models use different pedal parts by engine.
Step 2: Look at the pedal connector
- Switch the ignition off and remove the key.
- Look up under the dash at the top of the accelerator pedal. You'll see a wiring connector going into the pedal assembly.
- Use a torch and your phone camera. A clear, straight-on photo of the plug face is ideal.
- If you're comfortable doing it, press the latch and unplug it to see the pin layout.
Step 3: Compare three things
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Pin layout | The number and arrangement of pins (for example, the 5-pin pedal used on some older Toyotas). |
| Housing shape | The outline of the plug body and where the keyways sit. |
| Latch and colour | The clip style and the colour of the housing or lock. |
Each Roar 4X4 product page has a plug photo and downloadable instructions. All three things should match. If they don't, or you can't tell, stop there and ask us.
Plug reference: what our live pages list
This table only covers vehicles with a live Roar 4X4 product page, and the plug shown on that page. If your vehicle isn't here, that doesn't mean nothing fits. It means we haven't published a page yet.

LandCruiser 100 Series note: our three 100 Series pages list three different plugs (T63, 567 and 831) for different pedal and engine set-ups. Don't pick by year alone. Compare your plug with each page's photo.
Common mix-ups
Facelift years
Product pages are split at facelifts, such as Hilux N70 Sep 2011 and LandCruiser 200 late 2015. If your vehicle was built close to a changeover, go by the build plate rather than the year on the rego.
Same name, different market
The GWM Cannon is the Poer in the Gulf and Latin America and the P-Series in South Africa. The Hilux N80 is the Hilux Revo in Thailand. Matching names doesn't guarantee matching parts.
Left-hand-drive vehicles
GCC-spec vehicles in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Middle East are left-hand drive, and the pedal assembly can differ from right-hand-drive Australian models. Always send a plug photo before ordering for a LHD vehicle.
Imports
Japanese-import Toyotas in New Zealand and South-East Asia can differ from local-delivery models. Check the plug, not just the badge.
Step 4: Pick the right product page
Once your plug matches, choose the product page for your exact generation and years, not just one with the same plug. Each page carries its own compatibility table and notes, and those are what you're checking fitment against. Where a model has several pages split by facelift, use your build date to pick between them.
FAQ
Where exactly is the accelerator pedal plug?
On almost every modern ute and 4WD it's on top of, or at the back of, the pedal assembly, under the dash in the driver's footwell. You don't need to remove panels on most vehicles. A torch and a bit of neck-craning usually does it.
Can I tell the plug from the year alone?
Not reliably. Years are a good starting point, but facelifts, engine options and market differences can change the pedal part. The plug photo is the final check.
Two models share a plug. Can I use either page?
The harness may be the same, but buy from the page for your vehicle. That keeps the fitment notes, instructions and support details correct for what you drive.
Is it safe to unplug the pedal connector?
With the ignition off, yes. It's a standard clip-in connector. Press the latch rather than pulling on the wires, and don't force it. If it's stiff, take a photo and ask before going further.
My plug doesn't match any photo. What now?
Don't buy on a guess. Send us the photo and your vehicle details. If we don't have a matching page, we'll tell you.
Still unsure? Send us a photo
Email admin@roar4x4.com with:
- your make, model, generation and build date
- your country, and whether the vehicle is left- or right-hand drive
- a clear photo of the pedal plug face
We'll tell you whether one of our pages matches. We ship tracked to New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE, and international shipping is calculated at checkout.
