Two pedal sets : T2PA ; T2PM


This article provides technical answers to frequently asked questions about Thrustmaster pedal sets.


1- Pedal Set Compatibility (All types of pedal sets)

What racing wheel bases and platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) are the pedal sets compatible with?
On game consoles, the pedal sets always work through the racing wheel base.
On PC, depending on the pedal set models, the pedal set will either be connected to the racing wheel base or directly connected to the PC (eg: T-LCM Pedals).

Our following article will give you all the compatibilities and required connections of the pedal sets with Thrustmaster racing wheelbases:

2- Pedal behavior (all types of pedal sets)

A pedal drops and does not come up again.
It is likely that the spring no longer provides the tension to lift the pedal.


The gas pedal no longer works.
The first point to check is the position mode of the racing wheel base.

To guide you: Normal / inverted pedal Mode: gas pedal no longer responds

If your TMX is stuck in the swapped around position: TMX : the gas pedal does not work, my TMX is stuck in inverted mode

In the situation whereby your racing wheel base is in the correct position mode, but the gas pedal behavior persists, test your pedal set on your PC to see if this behavior is reproduced outside of the game. If you don't have a PC, you will see some tips for game consoles.

Pedal does not reach 100% signal
If you are using a T3PA, T2PA, T3PM or T2PM pedal set, first make sure that your racing wheel base has recognized the pedal set in the appropriate mode. Because if the racing wheel base has switched to or remained in T-LCM Pedals mode, the pedals will be disrupted.

If the pedal set mode is correct but the pedals still do not reach 100% signal, test your pedal set on a PC with Windows® 10 or more recent:

If you are using a T-LCM Pedals, try resetting its calibration by unplugging and reconnecting it without touching the pedals. If the T-LCM Pedals calibrates (when plugged in) while a pedal is being pressed, even slightly, the pedals may be messed up.

Then test your T-LCM Pedals using its calibration software: Recommendations for testing or adjusting the T-LCM Pedals


The pedals are no longer progressive
Pedals should normally produce a graded and progressive signal when pressed. On a PC, the signal may not be progressive. If you test the pedal set in the Control Panel, you will see that the pedal goes from 0 to 100% without any intermediate step.
This can happen especially after using Windows calibration.

Solution: Try resetting Windows calibration

Next, if you want to make adjustments to your racing wheel base and pedal set, go to your game's Settings or the calibration software for the T-LCM Pedals.


3- T-LCM Pedals: various questions

My T-LCM pedals are not working properly, I am using the USB cable and the RJ12 cable at the same time
The T-LCM pedals will only work with one cable connected. If the USB cable and the RJ12 cable are used at the same time, the T-LCM will receive two different inputs, causing it to malfunction.
