Parts for your 2019 Holden Commodore-Pedal pads

2019 Holden Commodore pedal-pads

Pedal-pads are relevant and fitted on the 2019 Holden Commodore (ZB). Technical sources including the GM Global Electronic Parts Catalogue for ZB Commodore (MY18–MY20, Brake Controls—Pedals) list a serviceable brake pedal pad for automatic models. ZB Commodore sold in Australia and New Zealand was automatic-only, so there’s no clutch pedal pad. The accelerator is an electronic pedal module with an integrated tread, a separate pad isn’t serviced unless fitting the Holden Genuine Alloy Sports Pedal Cover kit, which confirms the vehicle can use pedal covers on the brake (and accelerator as an accessory).

On a 2019 Commodore, the pedal-pad’s job is simple but crucial: give the driver reliable grip and a consistent feel underfoot, especially on the brake. That small rubber cover keeps shoes planted in the wet, reduces fatigue on longer drives, and helps maintain the same pedal height and “bite point” the engineers intended. Because the ZB Commodore is auto-only locally, the main service item is the brake pedal pad, some models may also have accessory alloy covers with rubber inserts.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to check the brake pedal pad every 10,000–15,000 km or 12 months. If the surface is shiny, hardened, cracked, or starting to peel off the metal pedal, it’s time to replace it. A worn pad can increase stopping distance if a shoe slips, and it can be flagged in a WOF or roadworthy inspection.

Replacement is quick and DIY-friendly: pull the old pad off the pedal plate, clean the metal surface, then work the new pad on starting from one edge. Warming the pad slightly (sunlight or warm water) makes it more pliable. Make sure the lip seats fully around the pedal so it can’t pop off. Stick with a genuine Holden/GM pad or a quality equivalent that matches the ZB pedal size, avoid gluing pads in place. If the car has the Holden Alloy Sports Pedal Covers, confirm every clip or retainer is properly engaged after refitting.

To keep grip at its best, wash the pad with mild soap and water. Skip silicone or glossy dressings—those can make the pedal slippery. Easy as.

Popular questions about 2019 Holden Commodore pedal-pads

Does the 2019 Commodore have a clutch pedal pad?
No. The ZB Commodore sold in AU/NZ came only with automatic transmissions, so there’s no clutch pedal and no clutch pedal pad. The serviceable pad is on the brake pedal, with optional alloy covers available on some trims or as accessories.

How can they tell it’s time to replace the brake pedal pad?
If the rubber looks shiny or smooth, has cracks or missing chunks, or feels slippery when wet, it’s due. Another clue is if the pad doesn’t sit snugly on the metal pedal or starts to roll at the edges. Most owners will see wear anywhere from 60,000–100,000 km depending on footwear and driving conditions.

Can they fit alloy pedal covers to a 2019 Commodore?
Yes. Holden offered Alloy Sports Pedal Covers for the ZB. When fitting, follow the kit instructions carefully to ensure each clip or retainer locks home. After installation, press firmly all around and test pedal operation to make sure nothing fouls or slips.
