Accelerator Controls Cable: Installation

CAUTION: Do not route flexible components (hoses, wires, conduits, etc.) within 2" (50 mm) of moving parts unless flexible components can be securely fastened. This is necessary in order to prevent possible interference and damage to the component.
  1. Install the accelerator cable into the vehicle using routing noted during removal. Connect the accelerator cable through the slot in the accelerator pedal lever. Seat the snap retainer in the accelerator pedal lever.
  2. Connect the accelerator cable to the throttle body lever. Connect the accelerator cable to the accelerator cable bracket. Inspect and check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating the accelerator pedal. Also check for poor carpet fit under the accelerator pedal.
  3. Snap the IP courtesy lamp into the IP insulator. Position the IP insulator to the instrument panel. Install the push-in retainers to the IP insulator to instrument panel. Install the press-on retainers to the IP insulator to dash mat.
