REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE

Always inspect the Campaign Modification Plate before beginning any recall work. As with all campaigns the plate may be marked from an earlier repair. Check the square A4. If it is stamped, no further recall work is necessary.


1. Remove the lower dash panel and the center console carpet on the driver's side.

2. Inspect the ball chain connecting the throttle pedal to the vacuum regulator for the cruise control (Figure 1). If a white piece of hose has been fitted to the chain, remove the hose and proceed to step 3.
If a white plastic hose has been installed, the hose should be removed and discarded.
