    Hi , everyone .I'm new on this place. I have a question to whom might know the answer or at least give me and idea , it will be much appreciated. I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited X a couple nites ago I left the lights on and battery died. when I jump start it next morning I turn on the jeep no problems but the Lighting light came on , no other lights but that one the problem is I step on the gas and notice there was no response. So I checked battery , fuses but nothing. Any ideas?? car was parked at my house , starts everytime but have no clue what could be .

    what that light means is loss of communication between throttle pedal and throttle body

    can you see throttle pedal and tps signals do thay match at no pedal if thay match slowly increase if matches all the wy to wide open throttle disconnect both battery cables touch positive and negitive cables to each other hold cables together for a few minites like 5 reconnect and see if that helps let me know

    I think that method only applies to throttle by wire applications. IIRC, the 2007 uses a cable to the throttle body?

    I just looked all throttle body pics for 07 are drive by wire Is yours a cable actuated throttlebody or drive buy wire you said you replaced sensors or did you replace pedal and throttle body

    Hey guys, sorry for taking so long to answer.
    K6 : It is a pedal sensor yes the whole thing ( i ended up buying stuff i didnt need. Lesson learned.)Well here is the update:
    I decided to take it to a dealer because I read somewhere that computer needed to relearn the codes. They were going to take 2 weeks before seeing my jeep. But lucky me i had a friend that knows a friend. So i took it and he fix it in like 30 minutes or less. Dealer was going to charge me $380, the guy charged me $100 so I happily paid him.
    Thanks to everyone for your help. Hope this helps someone in the future.
