Cruise Control Servo Cable: Testing and Inspection

1. Set the air conditioning, lights and other switches to OFF for inspection at no load.
2. Let the engine warm up until it runs at idle.
3. Check that the idle speed is within the specified range.
4. Stop the engine and set the ignition switch to OFF.
5. Check that the accelerator cable, cruise control cable and throttle cable are routed without sharp bends.
6. Depress the accelerator pedal to check that the throttle lever moves smoothly from the fully-closed to fully-opened position.
7. Check the free travel state of the inner cables of the accelerator cable, cruise control cable and throttle cable.
8. If the inner cables are too loose or have no tree travel at all, check using the following procedure.
1. Remove the link protector.




2. Loosen the adjusting and lock nuts of the throttle lever and intermediate links A, B and C to place the throttle lever and intermediate links A, B and C in the free state.
3. Set the ignition switch to ON (do not start the engine).




4. Rotate intermediate link C in the direction shown until it is blocked by the stopper, turn down adjusting nut C in the direction that the free travel of the inner cable is reduced, and back off adjusting nut C the specified number of turns just before intermediate link C begins to move.

Amount adjusting nut C is to be backed off:
M/T About 1/2 turn [inner cable free travel 0 - 1 mm (0 - 0.04 in.)]
A/T About two turns [inner cable free travel 2 - 3 mm (0.08 - 0.12 in.)]




5. Secure the accelerator cable with the lock nut.
6. Turn down adjusting nut B in the direction that the free travel of the inner cable of the throttle cable is reduced. At the position where the lever of intermediate link B is brought into contact with intermediate link C, back off adjusting nut B the specified number of turns.

Amount adjusting nut B is to be backed off:
About one turn [inner cable free travel 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.)]




7. Secure the throttle cable with the lock nut.
8. Secure the adjusting bolt of the intake manifold plenum.
9. Turn down adjusting nut A in the direction that the free travel of the inner cable of the cruise control cable is reduced. At the position where the lever of intermediate link A is brought into contact with intermediate link B, back off adjusting nut A the specified number of turns.

Amount adjusting nut A is to be backed off:
About one turn [inner cable free travel 1 - 2 mm (0.04 - 0.08 in.)]




10. Secure the cruise control cable with the lock nut.
11. After adjustment, check to see that the end of the engine speed adjusting screw is in contact with the stopper of the throttle lever.
