Accelerator Controls Cable Replacement: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Cadillac Seville and 2003 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
In order to prevent possible interference and damage, flexible components (hoses, wires, conduits, etc.) must not be routed within 2" (50 mm) of moving parts, unless the routing is positively controlled.
- Install the accelerator control cable at the throttle body lever. Accelerator control cable must be routed through groove in throttle body lever and seated securely. Install the accelerator control cable at the accelerator controls cable bracket.
- Route the accelerator control cable over the brake master cylinder and through the bulkhead. See Fig 1. Secure the accelerator control cable at the retainer on the bulkhead. Install the accelerator control cable at accelerator controls pedal. Check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating accelerator controls pedal.
- Check for poor carpet fit under the accelerator controls pedal. Throttle should operate freely without bind between full closed and wide open throttle. Slide the closeout insulator panel over the top of the emergency brake bracket. Set the forward edge of the closeout insulator panel on the shelf above the carpeting.
- Align the closeout insulator panel with the fastener holes. Install the push pin type retainers in order to hold the closeout insulator panel in position. Install the threaded fasteners to the closeout lower insulator panel. Tighten the fasteners to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
