Parts for your 2009 Honda Elysion-Pedal pads

2009 Honda Elysion pedal-pads — what’s fitted and how to look after them

Based on Honda technical documentation and parts catalogues for the RR1–RR5 Elysion (2004–2012), a replaceable rubber pedal pad is used on the brake pedal of the 2009 Honda Elysion. The accelerator is a drive-by-wire module with an integral plastic tread surface and no separate pad, and the model was typically sold with automatic transmission, so there’s no clutch pedal pad on most vehicles. References: Honda Elysion Service Manual sections for Brake Pedal and Accelerator Pedal Module (APP), and Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue (Brake Pedal & Bracket group). Vehicle inspection standards in Australia (ADR 42) and New Zealand (Warrant of Fitness guidance) also call out the need for non-slip pedal surfaces, which the brake pedal rubber pad provides.

For owners, that means the “pedal-pads” item is relevant specifically to the brake pedal. The brake pedal pad is a moulded rubber cover that slips over the metal pedal plate, giving the driver sure-footed grip in wet and dry conditions and helping the vehicle meet safety compliance.

As part of routine servicing on a 2009 Honda Elysion, it’s worth giving the brake pedal pad a quick once-over. Rubber hardens and wears with age, especially with sandy shoes or lots of city stop‑start driving. If it’s gone shiny, cracked, glazed, or has corners missing, replacement is cheap insurance for safe braking.

• Check it during each service or every 10,000–15,000 km.
• Replace if the surface is smooth, hardened, or the ribs are worn flat.
• Also replace immediately if it’s loose or can be rotated by hand.

Swapping the pad is a simple DIY task. Park safely, remove the old pad by peeling it off the pedal plate, clean the metal surface, then work the new pad on starting from one edge. Warming the new rubber slightly or using a dab of mild soapy water can help it seat evenly. Ensure all four lips wrap fully around the pedal plate so it can’t slip off.

Workshops will often include this check in a general safety inspection, and it’s a quick add-on if needed. Genuine Honda pads and quality aftermarket equivalents are both available, the key is choosing a pad specified for the Elysion’s brake pedal size and shape so the fit is snug. A fresh, grippy pad keeps the braking feel consistent and helps the van stay compliant for WOF/rego checks across Australia and New Zealand.

Is the accelerator pedal pad replaceable on a 2009 Honda Elysion?

No. The Elysion’s accelerator is a drive‑by‑wire module with an integrated plastic tread, so there’s no separate rubber pad to replace. If the surface is damaged, the complete pedal assembly is usually serviced as a unit per Honda’s service manual guidance.

How can someone tell if the brake pedal pad needs replacing?

Look for a smooth, shiny surface, hardened or cracked rubber, worn-down ribs, or any looseness. If shoes slip when wet, that’s another red flag. Any of these signs mean it’s time for a new pad.

Is replacing the brake pedal pad a professional-only job?

It’s typically an easy DIY fit. That said, if the pad won’t seat properly or the metal pedal plate is bent or corroded, it’s best to have a technician inspect and replace parts as needed to maintain safe operation.
