Inspection and Verification

NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with either memory, or non-memory accelerator and brake pedals. For additional information on diagnosing and testing the adjustable pedal system, refer to BRAKE SYSTEM-GENERAL INFORMATION .
NOTE: Care should be exercised when performing service on or around the accelerator pedal linkage and controls.
  1. Inspect the accelerator pedal and shaft and attaching linkage for damage or distortion which would bind or limit accelerator travel.
  2. Inspect the accelerator cable for kinks or fraying which may cause binding.
  3. Inspect the engine idle speed adjustment to make sure of correct idle speed specification after any accelerator linkage adjustment or repair.
  4. Inspect throttle body for excessive wear or damage.
