Just a quick update. Stupidly I didnt check out all the information availible to me and just grabbed the jap scanner.... once I found the ECU under the passenger footwell I was enlightnend with a BOSCH module. Now checking ESI found all the information i was in need of and found this particular pedal sensor is dropped to ground via internals of the ECU as sensor monitoring and perfectly normal. All I can say is that the time span in which it did this was quite different between the old and new pedal. After resetting everything and giving the vehicle a good road test Im happy to say is fixed. Lesson learned CHECK ALL INFO
