SOHC / L24 Adjustment


Object Number: 872492  Size: MF
  1. Observe the position of the throttle linkage to ensure the linkage is resting on the throttle stop screw.
  2. Depress the cruise cable adjuster release tabs and slide the adjuster away from the module.
  3. Turn On the ignition, with the engine Off.
  4. Using the scan tool, note the TP sensor voltage.
  5. Move the adjuster (2) in toward the module (1) until a 1-2 mm (0.040-0.079 in) (3) clearance is between the adjuster and the accelerator pedal bracket. There should be a very slight amount of play in the accelerator cable.
  6. Notice: Driveability concerns may result if the cruise control rod is not adjusted properly.

    Important: 1-2 mm (0.040-0.079 in) is approximately one click movement of the adjuster.

  7. Using the scan tool, make sure the TP sensor voltage is not greater than the voltage noted before the adjustment procedure was performed.

DOHC / LL0 Adjustment

  1. Observe the position of the throttle linkage to ensure the linkage is resting on the throttle stop screw.
  2. Depress the cruise cable adjuster release tabs and slide the adjuster away from the module.
  3. Move the adjuster in toward the module until the accelerator cable spring just touches the cruise cable adjuster.
  4. Notice: Driveability concerns may result if the cruise control rod is not adjusted properly.

    Important: 1-2 mm (0.040-0.079 in) is approximately one click movement of the adjuster.

    Important: At this point the spring should NOT be compressed.

  5. Move the cable adjuster (2) one click toward the module (1). There should be a 1-2 mm (0.040-0.079 in) (4) compression of the spring. There now should be no play in the accelerator cable. The spring should be 1-2 mm compressed and the throttle linkage should be resting on the stop screw.
