Removal and Installation


ADJUSTABLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY












CAUTION:
- Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal adjusting mechanism.
- Before removal and installation, the accelerator and brake pedals must be in the front most position.
This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake pedals.
- Do not disassemble the accelerator pedal assembly.
- Do not remove the accelerator pedal position sensor from the accelerator pedal bracket.
- Avoid damage from dropping the accelerator pedal assembly during handling.
- Keep the accelerator pedal assembly away from water.
Removal
1.Move the accelerator and brake pedals to the front most position.
2.Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3.Disconnect the adjustable brake pedal cable from the adjustable brake pedal.
- Unlock, then pull the adjustable brake pedal cable to disconnect it from the adjustable brake pedal.





4.Disconnect the adjustable pedal electric motor electrical connector.
5.Disconnect the adjustable pedal electric motor memory electrical connector, if equipped.
