Zeroing

  • Ensure the ignition key is turned off.
  • Check that the climate control system is off, the accelerator pedal is not depressed and the accelerator cable is correctly adjusted (see next paragraph).
  • Connect switch MPX 97 (tool 1806365000) to the tester connection and move the handle to position 3.
  • Connect a tester (Examiner).
  • Set the Examiner to "Control Unit Test" mode.
  • Turn the ignition key on.
  • Set the Examiner to "active test" mode, then select "Reset self-adaptive parameters" and "Idle actuator".

ACCELERATOR CONTROL CABLE

Adjustment

  • slacken lock nut (1);
  • adjust nut (2) to alter the clearance of accelerator cable (3) to achieve complete throttle closure (adjustment screw 5 in contact) and a cable clearance (4) of 5 mm with the pedal released.

Proceed as follows:

tighten to reduce the clearance
loosen to increase the clearance

  • tighten the locknut following adjustment

Once the cable has been adjusted to set idle speed, connect the tester to the appropriate connection and check that throttle opening is at least 80° with the pedal fully depressed.
