    Object Number: 181797  Size: SH
  1. Loosen the cable adjusting locknuts (1).
  2. Remove the accelerator cable from the bracket.
  3. Disconnect the accelerator cable from the throttle lever (3). Opening the throttle lever by hand will aide in the accelerator cable removal.

  4. Object Number: 236863  Size: SH
  5. Disconnect the accelerator cable from the accelerator pedal.
  6. Disconnect the 2 bolts (2) and accelerator cable (5) and the bracket (1) at the bulkhead
  7. Disconnect the accelerator control cable (5) from the vehicle.

Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 236863  Size: SH
  1. Install the accelerator cable (5) and the bracket (1) to the bulkhead.
  2. 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.

  3. Secure with the 2 bolts (2).
  4. Tighten
    Tighten the bolts to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

  5. Connect the accelerator cable to the accelerator pedal.

  6. Object Number: 181797  Size: SH
  7. Connect the accelerator cable (2) to the throttle lever (3). Opening the throttle lever by hand will aide in the accelerator cable installation.
  8. Connect the accelerator cable to the accelerator cable bracket.
  9. Secure with the 2 nuts (1).
  10. Tighten
    Tighten the locknuts to 8 N·m (71 lb in).
