Accelerator Pedal: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Inspection and Verification
Verify the condition by operating the accelerator pedal and shaft from idle to wide open throttle and back again. Check for any resistance in
forward travel of the accelerator pedal and shaft or hesitation on return.
Surrounding components such as wiring, hoses, sound insulator and floor carpet must not contact the sliding inner member of the accelerator cable
or the accelerator pedal and shaft.
If a concern exists, visually inspect all components of the accelerator pedal and shaft and linkage. Look for damage or binding of the accelerator
cable. Look for obstructions at the throttle body and accelerator pedal and shaft.
For vehicles equipped with speed control, examine the speed control actuator cable.
