Three pedal sets: T3PA Add-On ; T3PA Pro Add-On ; T-LCM Pedals ; T3PM

Two pedal sets: T2PA ; T2PM


This article shows how you can test your Thrustmaster pedal set.

If you notice a malfunction on your pedal set, you will need to close your game to perform the test. Also, whether you play on a PC or game console, you must perform a test on a PC running Windows® 10 or more recent.


1- PC Test

1.1 Racing wheel base control panel: T3PA Add-on ; T3PA Pro Add-on ; T2PA ; T3PM ; T2PM

This test is about force feedback racing wheel bases (TMX ; T150 ; T300 ; TX, T-GT ; T-GT II ; TS-XW ; TS-PC ; T128 ; T248) and Direct Drive bases (T818).
The pedals will appear as part of the axes of your racing wheel base.

Make sure your PC has the latest driver available for your racing wheel.

Restart your computer to complete the installation.
