IV. BACKGROUND
In early October, Toyota announced it will initiate a Safety Recall Campaign (Special Service Campaign) for potential floor mat interference with the accelerator pedal. The condition involves the potential for an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat to interfere with the accelerator pedal and cause it to get stuck in the wide open position.
- The accelerator pedal will be modified to reduce the risk of an unsecured or incompatible floor mat from interfering with the accelerator pedal.
- Foam pads underneath the carpet in the accelerator pedal area will also be removed and/or replaced to modify the shape of the floor.
- Vehicles equipped with the optional genuine Toyota All Weather Floor Mats (AWFM) will be inspected to determine if the AWFM set is of an older design. If it is, the older design AWFM for the driver and the front passenger will be replaced with newly designed ones.
- Finally, the ECU will be reflashed with newly designed software to provide customers an extra measure of confidence. This reflash will allow the system to cut engine power in case of simultaneous application of both the accelerator and brake pedals during certain driving speeds.
V. WORK PROCEDURE

Videos described in this procedure are not available at this time
Click here to watch the video to supplement steps 4-11
- The cut line is slightly outside from the scribed line and its positioned 90 degrees from the pedal foot pad as illustrated.
- Using a hack-saw, cut the pedal 0.2 in (5 mm) to create a guide cut for the reciprocating-saw.
- Using the reciprocating-saw, cut off the lower section of the pedal as illustrated.NOTE:
- Always wear protective eyewear, gloves and dust mask when cutting.
- The cut must be straight and clean.
- Apply consistent pressure during cutting.
- Do not stop while cutting.
- The cut line is slightly outside from the scribed line and its positioned 90 degrees from the pedal foot pad as illustrated.
- CUT THE CORNERS OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY
- Turn the pedal over in the vise so the top of the pedal is facing up; do not clamp the sensor portion of the pedal.
- The cut line is 0.12 in (3 mm) outside from the scribed line as illustrated.NOTE: Do not cut at the scribed line. This area will be sanded later.
- Using a hack-saw, cut the pedal 0.2 in (5 mm) to create a guide cut for the reciprocating-saw.NOTE:
- Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and dusk mask when cutting.
- Guide cut must be straight and clean.
- Using the reciprocating-saw, cut off the pedal corners as illustrated.
- SAND THE TOP SURFACE
- SAND THE RADIUS LINE
- SAND THE LOWER CORNER NEAR THE PEDAL STOPPER
- Turn the pedal over in the vise so the bottom of the pedal is facing up; do not clamp the sensor portion of the pedal.
- Using an orbital sander and hand file, sand the lower corner near the pedal stopper.NOTE:
- Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and dusk mask when sanding.
- Always use a shop cloth to protect the pedal when clamping it in a vise.
- DO NOT sand the pedal stopper area
- FILE THE PEDAL ARM TABS
- REMOVE ALL BURRS FROM THE CUTTING SURFACE
- Finish removing all burrs from the cutting surface. The cut surface along the foot pad should be rounded and not square.
- Finish the cut surface and all edges with 400 grit sandpaper.NOTE: Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, and dusk mask when sanding.
- CHECK THE SHAPE OF THE PEDAL
- Using the correct cutting template and shape gauge, check the shape of the pedal.
Cutting Template
Color: White
Stamping: AV / CM-CTS
Shape Gauge
Color: Silver
Stamping: ES / AV-CM
- If the shape does NOT match the template and/or gauge, continue filing.
- If the shape matches the template and gauge, touch the cut surface with your hand to verify it is smooth and free of burrs.NOTE:
- Always wear protective eyewear, gloves and dusk mask when sanding or filing.
- A tolerance of -1.0 mm is permissible between the final cut surface and the template.
- Check for a rib as shown in "A". If there is a rib, file it until it is gone.
- Check for any pin holes, chips, nicks or sharp edges on the finished surface edge as shown in "B". If there are any chips, nicks or sharp edges file them to make them smooth.NOTE: The key point of judgment is a "smooth pedal surface".
- If a "smooth pedal surface" cannot be achieved due to a pinhole / cavity, repair the pedal utilizing the steps below.
Materials Needed:
- KBS Coatings - NuMetal® Epoxy Putty (Black)
Contact: 1-888-531-4527

- Using the correct cutting template and shape gauge, check the shape of the pedal.
D. FLOOR CARPET MODIFICATION
- REMOVE THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS
Videos described in this procedure are not available at this time
Click here to watch the video to supplement steps 1-6
- PULL BACK THE FLOOR CARPET
- INSPECT THE LOWER PORTION OF THE FABRIC FLOOR SILENCING MATERIAL
- Inspect the lower portion of the fabric floor silencing material.
- If OK, proceed to step 4 "RUBBER PAD APPLICATION" below.
- If NG, please refer to APPENDIX "B" for "CUT THE FLOOR SILENCING MATERIAL"
NOTE: The fabric floor silencing material is a soft, gray, paperlike material beneath the carpet.
- Inspect the lower portion of the fabric floor silencing material.
- RUBBER PAD APPLICATION
- Inspect the rubber pad application area for sound deadening material.
- If OK (no sound deadening material in pad application area), proceed to step "b" below.
- If NG (sound deadening material found in application area), please refer to APPENDIX "C" for "REMOVE THE SOUND DEADENING MATERIAL" .
- Clean and degrease the rubber pad application area.
- Peel the double sided tape cover off the NEW rubber pad.
- Apply the rubber pad to the floor pan. The upper right corner of the rubber pad needs to be positioned next to the locating protrusion.
- Inspect the rubber pad application area for sound deadening material.
- REMOVE THE TIBIA PADS
- Place an "X" mark on the tibia pads before removing. This will prevent them from being mixed up with the new pads.
- Using a hair dryer or a low temperature heat gun, warm up the carpet side of the tibia pads until the adhesive is loose. This will make it easier to remove the tibia pads from the carpet. Pay close attention when using the hair dryer or low temperature heat gun to prevent damage to the carpet.
- Remove the tibia pads. CAUTION: DO NOT forcefully pull the pads. Doing so may damage the carpet. If necessary, re-heat the carpet to make the adhesive more pliable.
Carefully take the time to understand Step 6 (Next step). It is necessary to correctly complete this procedure to prevent the tibia pads from slipping. - INSTALL THE NEW TIBIA PADS
- Use the Tibia Pad Placement Template (Template is located in the Appendix) to identify the location of the NEW Tibia pad on the floor pan.
- Apply double sided tape to the bottom (floor pan side) of the tibia pads and position the NEW Tibia pad to the floor pan as illustrated.
- Remove template.
- Apply a piece of industrial adhesive tape from the top to the bottom of the tibia pads.
- Apply a second piece of industrial adhesive tape from the left to the right side of the tibia pads.NOTE: Both pieces of industrial adhesive tape should have a good contact surface to the floor pan.INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE TAPE LENGTH SPECIFICATIONS
Part Length A 1.96 in 49.9 mm B 3.25 in 82.6 mm C 0.61 in 15.4 mm Carefully take the time to properly perform Steps 6f and 6g below. Once completed, confirm the floor carpet is properly positioned and secured by the hook and fasteners. - Place the floor carpet back into position and engage the hook as shown in the illustration.
- Engage the 2 fasteners.NOTE: Be careful not to detach the tibia pads when placing the carpet back into position.
- Heat the floor carpet area for 2 minutes as shown and smooth it out by pushing it with your hand. Heat the same area again for another minute, and smooth the carpet firmly.NOTE:
- Always wear protective gloves when heating the floor carpet.
- Keep the hair dryer/ low temperature heat gun more than 8 inches (20 cm) away from the floor carpet, and stop after 1 or 2 minute intervals. Continuous heating of the floor carpet may cause damage.
- DO NOT leave hair drier or low temperature heat gun inside the vehicle when it is hot, to prevent unintended heat damage to interior parts.
- REINSTALL THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS
| IMPORTANT NOTE: For vehicles involved in A0A "CTS Accelerator Pedal Reinforcement Bar Installation" 1.
