3.
Visually inspect the cable for any of the following unacceptable conditions (see Figure 3):
^
Cover flared or split.
^
Core wire exposed when no tension is applied to the cable.
^
Cable is kinked.
Replace the cable if any of the above conditions are found. For replacement and adjustment procedures, refer to Section 310-03, Vehicle Speed
Control of the appropriate workshop manual.
If none of these conditions are found, continue with the next step of this procedure.

WARNING: BE SURE TO MARK THE STRAND COVER AT THE VERY POINT WHERE IT ENTERS THE NOTCHED CABLE
HOUSING. FAILURE TO MARK THE COVER AND MEASURE THE DISTANCE ACCURATELY (AS OUTLINED IN STEP 6) MAY
RESULT IN FAILURE TO REPLACE AN UNACCEPTABLE CABLE.
NOTE:
Use a suitable marker such as a fine point paint marker or a felt-tipped marking pen. Brush-on touchup paint may also be used. DO NOT use a
blunt marker or one that has a worn-out tip. It could cause your measurement to be incorrect. Whichever marking device you decide to use, it
must leave a clean, straight line at the very point where the strand cover enters the notched cable housing. You will be measuring, in very small
increments, the distance from the very edge of the mark you make to a certain point on the cable assembly. THE MEASUREMENT MUST
NOT INCLUDE THE THICKNESS OF THE MARK.
