Accelerator Pedal: Service and Repair

Accelerator Control:

NOTE: When performing service on the accelerator pedal, observe the following:

a. The mounting surface between the support and dash panel must be free of insulation. The carpet in the pedal and tunnel area must be positioned to lay flat and be free of wrinkles.
