Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    IMPORTANT: Ensure that the adjustable accelerator pedal and adjustable brake pedal are synchronized in the full forward, front of vehicle position.
    IMPORTANT: During the synchronization procedure, do not exceed 0.5 N.m (4.43 lb in) of torque while adjusting the pedals with the use of the cable, or the square drive.
  1. Synchronize the pedals to the full forward position.
  2. Synchronize the brake pedal to the full forward position. Use the instrument panel switch, the Tech II, or manually move the brake pedal as follows:
    1. Use an adjustable wrench on the accelerator pedal end of the accelerator pedal cable (1).
    2. Slowly rotate the accelerator cable to move the brake pedal to the full forward, front of vehicle position.
    3. Remove the wrench from the vehicle.
  3. The new accelerator pedal assembly should already be synchronized to the full forward position. If the pedal is not synchronized, proceed as follows before installation:
    1. Install a square drive tool into the accelerator pedal where the cable attaches.
    2. Carefully rotate the tool to move the adjustable pedal to the full forward position.
    3. Remove the square drive tool.
  4. Connect the adjustable accelerator pedal cable (1) to the pedal assembly.
