Accelerator Cable: Installation

Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. However, particular attention must be paid to the following
Refit the throttle cable and adjust the locknuts to achieve the specified gap between the quadrant and abutment as shown in Fig 1.
- Tighten the locknut without altering the setting or introducing twist into the cable outer

Condition the cable
- Operate the throttle pedal through FULL travel for a minimum of 20 (twenty) cycles

Recheck the quadrant / stop relationship to ensure contact without slack or tension
- Adjust the locknuts to suit

Check the kickdown setting to ensure that it is within specification and reset if required as detailed from step 6.
- PDU users see relevant section.
Connect scantool
- Read 'Current Powertrain Data'
- Display PID 120F (pedal demand)

NOTE: Ensure that contact with the switch does not result in switch movement

Push the throttle pedal until light contact is made with the kickdown switch
Specified PID value = 3.66 to 3.76 volts (2F9 + or - A hex)
- If the value is outside these limits, proceed to step 9.
- If the value is within these limits, no further action is required

Pull the carpet from around the kickdown switch
Disconnect the kickdown switch flying lead connector (to avoid cable twist as the switch is rotated)
Adjust the kickdown switch to the value as defined in step 8.
