ACCELERATOR PEDAL

E: INSPECTION

1. ACCELERATOR PEDAL

1) Lightly move the pedal pad in lateral direction to
ensure that pedal deflection is in specified range.
2) If excessive deflection is noted, replace the
bushing and clip with new ones.

Deflection of accelerator pedal:

Service limit

±2.0 mm (0.079 in) or less

2. KICK-DOWN SWITCH

If the kick-down switch does not operate properly
(or if it does not stop at the specified position), re-
place with a new one.

Specified position: A

2.0 — 3.5 mm (0.079 — 0.098 in)

F: ADJUSTMENT

1) Check the pedal stroke and free play by operat-
ing accelerator pedal by hand.
2) If it is not within specified value, adjust it by turn-
ing the nut connecting the accelerator cable tothrot-
tle body.

Free play at pedal pad: L

0 — 4 mm (0 — 0.16 in)

Stroke at pedal pad: A

50 — 55 mm (1.97 — 2.17 in)

Accelerator cable lock nut tightening torque:

12 N·m (1.2 kgf-m, 9 ft-lb)

3) Check to ensure the kick-down switch operates
at the specified value in relation to the stroke of the
accelerator pedal.
If it is not within specified value, adjust it by adjust-
ing the position of kick-down switch.

NOTE:
Be careful not to rotate kick-down switch.

Kick-down switch stroke: L
