  7. On Sedan models only, remove the bulkhead covers on both sides and the engine compartment rear cover.
  8. Cut, remove and discard the ratchet strap which retains the throttle cable to the abutment bracket.
  9. Ensure there is no tension on the throttle cable by releasing the throttle cable adjustment nut from the abutment bracket.
  10. Record the voltages for both sensors, PPS11 and PPS2.
  11. Partially insert the throttle cable adjustment nut into the abutment bracket.
  12. Recheck the voltages for both sensors, PPS11 and PPS2.
  13. Where the voltages at step 12 are higher than the voltages taken at step 10, continue to step 15 below.
  14. Where the voltages at step 12 are the same as the voltages taken at step 10, continue to step 16 below.
  15. Rotate the adjustment nut clockwise (as viewed from the front of the vehicle) until the same voltages are indicated as in step 10. Continue to turn through a part revolution until the sides of the nut are vertical. Turn through a further 90 degrees, then fully insert the nut into the abutment bracket.
  16. Rotate the adjustment nut anti-clockwise (as viewed from the front of the vehicle) until the indicated voltage starts to increase. Then rotate the nut clockwise through a part revolution until the sides are vertical. Turn through a further 90 degrees, then fully insert the nut into the abutment bracket.
  17. Fit a new ratchet strap to secure the throttle cable adjusting nut to the abutment bracket.
  18. Operate the throttle pedal through 20 full cycles to settle the cable. Check the voltages now shown, remain the same as in steps 15 and 16.
