Accelerator Pedal Assembly
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
When performing service on the accelerator pedal, observe the following:
-
The mounting surface between the support and dash panel must be free of insulation. The carpet and padding in the pedal and tunnel area must be
positioned to lay flat and be free of wrinkles and bunches.
-
Slip the accelerator control cable through the slot in the rod and then install the retainer in the rod, makeing sure it is seated. Use care when
pressing the retainer into the hole in the rod to ensure that the cable is not kinked or damaged in any way.
-
After securing all components of the accelerator linkage, the linkage must operate freely without binding between full closed throttle and full wide
open throttle.
-
Wires, hoses, cables or other obstructions must not be placed within 13 mm (1/2 inch) of the cable or the rod at any point in their travel.
