Notice: Handle the electronic throttle control components carefully. Use cleanliness in order to prevent damage. Do not drop the electronic throttle control components. Do not roughly handle the electronic throttle control components. Do not immerse the electronic throttle control components in cleaning solvents of any type.

1. Remove the left instrument panel (IP) lower closeout insulator panel.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the accelerator pedal sensor module.



3. Remove the accelerator pedal mounting bolts.
4. Remove the accelerator pedal.

1. Install the accelerator pedal to the steering column support bracket.

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.

Important: Always use a torque wrench in order to obtain the proper torque.

Tighten
Tighten the accelerator pedal mounting bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

Install the accelerator pedal mounting bolts.




2. Connect the electrical connector to the accelerator pedal sensor module.
3. Test for proper throttle opening and closing range by operating the accelerator pedal and monitoring the throttle angles using a scan tool. The accelerator pedal should operate freely without binding between full closed throttle and wide open throttle (WOT).
4. Inspect the carpet fit under the accelerator pedal.
5. Install the left IP lower closeout insulator panel.
