Removal Procedure
- Lift upward on the accelerator pedal (3) to relieve the tension on the cable (2).
- Remove the retainer (1) from the pedal lever (4) hole.
- Remove the cable from the slot in the pedal lever.
- Remove the accelerator pedal mounting fasteners.
- Remove the accelerator pedal assembly.
Installation Procedure
Important: The accelerator cable is not to be kinked or damaged in any way during installation.
Ensure that the mounting surface between the accelerator pedal assembly and the dash panel is free of insulation. The carpet and padding in the pedal area must be positioned to lay flat and free of wrinkles and bunches. Wires, hoses, cables, and other flexible components should not be within 13 mm (0.52 in) of the cable or lever, at any point in their travel.- Place the accelerator pedal assembly (4) on the mounting surface.
- Install the mounting bolts.
- Lift upward on the accelerator pedal (3).
- Insert the cable (2) through the pedal lever slot.
- Press the retainer (1) into the lever hole until fully seated.
- Check the pedal (3) for free movement by pressing down on the pedal.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the pedal assembly to 5 N·m (44 lb in).
Important: The pedal must operate freely without binding through the full range of pedal movement.
