Parts for your 2017 Toyota Mark x-Pedal pads

2017 Toyota Mark X pedal pads — what they are and how to look after them

Referencing Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) for the GRX130/GRX133 series (2017) and the Toyota Repair Manual brake section, the 2017 Toyota Mark X uses a replaceable rubber “Pad, Pedal” on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual variants. The accelerator is a drive-by-wire moulded pedal without a separate, replaceable pad. This aligns with NZ Waka Kotahi (NZTA) VIRM expectations and Australian roadworthy/RWC guidelines (e.g., VicRoads, TfNSW) that require non‑slip pedal surfaces—commonly satisfied by serviceable brake (and clutch) pedal rubbers.

On the 2017 Mark X, the pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they give the driver grippy, cushioned contact so the foot doesn’t slip—wet day, dusty boots, or a quick panic stop, it all stays predictable. The rubber face also dampens vibration and helps meet local safety rules for pedal friction and feel.

Because the accelerator pedal is a one‑piece plastic unit, there’s no separate pad to replace there. The focus is the brake pedal, and the clutch if it’s a manual. Over time, the rubber can harden, glaze, crack, or wear thin at the corners, and once the surface gets shiny it’s much easier for a shoe to slide—especially with water or road grime.

Good workshop practice is to inspect pedal pads at every service. If the face is glossy, cracked, or the rubber’s rolled back at the edges, it’s time to swap it. Replacement is quick and inexpensive: pop the old pad off, clean the metal pedal plate, then work the new pad on, checking the lip seats fully around the backing plate. A dab of warm soapy water can help it slip into place, and once it dries, it grips as intended. On manual cars, replace brake and clutch pads together so feel and grip are consistent.

• Signs it’s due: smooth/glazed surface, visible cracking, thinning that hints at metal beneath, or frequent foot slip in wet shoes.
• What not to do: don’t dress pads with silicone or tyre shine—slippery is the last thing you want. Avoid petroleum cleaners that perish rubber.
• Extra safety tip: check floor mats are clipped to their retainers so they can’t ride up under the pedals.

Genuine Toyota or quality aftermarket pedal pads both do the job well, confirm fitment with the VIN via the Toyota EPC or your parts desk to match the exact GRX130/133 variant.

Does the 2017 Toyota Mark X have pedal pads on all pedals?

No. It has a replaceable rubber pad on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual models. The accelerator pedal is a single moulded electronic unit without a separate pad.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?

There’s no strict kilometre interval—replace it when it’s worn, hard, cracked, or glossy. A quick check at each service is smart, many owners find replacement somewhere between 60,000–100,000 km depending on use and footwear.

Can a Mark X owner replace the pedal pad at home?

Yes. It’s a simple five‑minute job with no special tools. Remove the old pad, clean the pedal plate, then stretch the new pad over the lip until it’s fully seated. If unsure on part selection, confirm via the Toyota EPC using your VIN.
