Pedal set detection modes: pedals not reaching 100%

KB 1794 - EN - 2024-10-02
Three pedal sets: T3PA Add-On ; T3PA Pro Add-On ; T-LCM Pedals ; T3PM

Two pedal sets: T2PA ; T2PM


The racing wheel base has two automated pedal set type detection modes: a normal mode (T3PA, T2PA, T3PM and T2PM) and a mode for the T-LCM Pedals. The T-LCM Pedals has a separate detection mode because it uses a Load Cell sensor in its brake pedal.
- If a pedal set without Load Cell (T3PA, T2PA, T3PM and T2PM) is used with T-LCM mode: the pedals will not reach 100% of their signal, generally between 40% and 80%.

The detection mode can be changed manually.

Connect your racing wheel base and let it do its startup calibration. The MODE button LED should flash:
- 1 or 2 times: normal mode (T3PA, T2PA, T3PM and T2PM)
- 10 times: T-LCM Pedals mode

To change the mode, simultaneously press and hold the MODE button and the left paddle shifter (downshift) for 2 seconds then release.
This process is detailed in our document: IMPORTANT NOTE: Type of pedal set detected when it is connected to a Thrustmaster® racing wheel base via the RJ12 cable

The LEDs use a 4-color code.
Simultaneously press and hold the Settings button and the left paddle shifter (downshift) for 5 seconds:
- For a T2PM, T3PM or T3PA: the red LED lights up (default mode).
- For a T-LCM: the blue LED lights up (T-LCM mode).

This process is detailed in the user manual on page 19.

Direct Drive: T818
Connect your racing wheel base and let it do its startup calibration. The button 13 LED (in the middle of the menu panel on the side of the base) should flash:
- 1 or 2 times: normal mode (T3PA, T2PA, T3PM and T2PM)
- 10 times: T-LCM Pedals mode

To change the mode, simultaneously press and hold the button 13 and the left paddle shifter (downshift) for 2 seconds then release.
This process is detailed in the user manual on pages 64 and 65.


Note about T248:
T248 automatically detects the pedal set you connect, it does not have a manual pedal set type mode. If you change the pedal set, just remember to restart your racing wheel or even unplug and reconnect the power.
