11) Disconnect accelerator cable bushing from ac-
celerator pedal lever.

12) Disconnect accelerator cable stopper from
bracket.

13) Separate accelerator cable and bracket.

B: INSTALLATION

1) Install in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:
• If cable clamp is damaged, replace it with a new
one.
• Never fail to cover outer cable end with boot.
• Be careful not to kink accelerator cable.
• Refer to COMPONENT for the tightening torque.

NOTE:
Clean and apply grease to the position as shown in
the figure.

SUNLIGHT No. 2

E: INSPECTION

1. ACCELERATOR PEDAL

1) Lightly move pedal pad in the lateral direction to
ensure pedal deflection is in specified range.
2) If excessive deflection is noted, replace 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 kick-down switch does not operate properly (or if
it does not stop at the specified position), replace
with a new one.

Specified position: A

F: ADJUSTMENT

1) Check pedal stroke and free play by operating
accelerator pedal by hand.
2) If it is not within specified value, adjust it by turn-
ing nut connecting accelerator cable to throttle
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)

Tightening torque of accelerator cable lock nut:

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 in specified value, adjust it by adjusting
position of kick-down switch.

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

Kick-down switch stroke: A

47 — 49 mm (1.85 — 1.93 in)

Kick-down switch tightening torque:

12 N·m (1.2 kgf-m, 8.7 ft-lb)
