FAQ
international 133284-2603893c91
Are WCS-133284, 2603893C91, and 8C40-9F832-BA interchangeable?
Yes, these part numbers are cross-compatible for specific heavy-duty/medium-duty commercial vehicles:
WCS-133284 (Williams Controls) is a direct replacement for Navistar 2603893C91.
8C40-9F832-BA (Ford OEM) works with Navistar/Volvo vehicles using Navistar-sourced powertrains.
All three share the same 5V operating voltage, 0.5V–4.5V signal output, and all are 6-pin AMP connector (see: 6 pin accelerator pedal position sensor wiring diagram).
Do TPS parts like N8894090 or 8C40-9F832-BA require calibration after installation
Yes, mandatory calibration is required for all these TPS models to ensure signal accuracy:
Tools: Use OEM-specific software (Navistar ServiceMaxx for N8894090, Ford IDS for 8C40-9F832-BA, Cummins INSITE for WCS-133284).
Calibration targets: 0.50V ±0.02V (idle) and 4.50V ±0.02V (WOT).
Validation: Perform 3 full throttle cycles (idle→WOT→idle) to confirm linear signal response.
Exception: No calibration needed for exact OEM replacements if the ECU retains previous settings (rare for heavy-duty vehicles).
Which vehicles are compatible with N8894090, and is it backward-compatible with older Navistar models?
N8894090 is a 2018+ Navistar OEM TPS with limited backward compatibility:
Compatible models: Navistar ProStar/LoneStar/WorkStar (2018–2024), CV/MV Series (2019–2024) with MaxxForce/Cummins engines.
Backward compatibility: Not directly compatible with pre-2018 Navistar vehicles. Use adapter harness P/N 1825406C92 for conversion.
Key difference from predecessor (2603893C91): Gold-plated connector contacts, integrated signal filtering
