Throttle Pedal Inspection
This vehicle is equipped with a Throttle Release Switch
(TRS) used to detect when the throttle pedal has returned
to the rest position.
NOTE: The throttle pedal lever is designed to have a
f
ew degrees of freeplay prior to engaging the throttle
arm that pulls the throttle cable.
Always check that the throttle pedal moves independently
o
f the cable pull lever at the start of throttle pedal travel and
that the throttle pedal returns normally before starting the
engine.
There should be minimal freeplay between the throttle
cab
le and the cable pull lever. If there is excessive play
due to cable stretch or misadjustment, it will cause a delay
in throttle response, especially at low engine speed. The
throttle may also not open fully. If the throttle cable has no
freeplay, the throttle may be hard to control, and the idle
speed may be erratic.
Check throttle pedal freeplay periodically in accordance
with
the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Adjust the freeplay
if necessary (see “Throttle Freeplay Adjustment”).
Throttle Freeplay Adjustment
Inspection
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Start the engine, and warm it up thoroughly.
3. Measure the distance the throttle arm (A) moves
befor
e the engine begins to pick up speed. Throttle
cable freeplay should be 1/16” - 1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm).
NOTE: The throttle pedal lever (B) is designed to
hav
e a few degrees of freeplay prior to engaging the
throttle arm (A) that pulls the throttle cable.
Adjustment
1. Remove both seats and rear service panel.
2. Remove cargo box as an assembly (see Chapter 5).
