Service Procedure
NOTE:the accelerator pedal must be removed from the vehicle to perform the inspection.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
To enhance customer satisfaction, remember to reset the clock when you have completed the service procedure.
2. Remove the three accelerator pedal mounting nuts (Figure 1).
3. Disconnect the accelerator pedal electrical connector.
4. Remove the accelerator pedal from the vehicle.
5. Inspect the cavity code located on the backside of the accelerator pedal (Figure 2):
> If the cavity code is a number 1, the pedal assembly does not require replacement. Continue to Step 7 of this procedure.
> If the cavity code is a number 2, the accelerator pedal date code must be inspected. Continue with Step 6 of this procedure.
6. Inspect the accelerator pedal date code.
UNDERSTANDING THE DATE CODE: The first two digits are the year
(06 = 2006). The next three digits are the day of the year it was built
(068 = the 68th day). Disregard the last three digits of the date code. For example, the date code on the pedal assembly in Figure 3 is 06068828. The first two digits are 06 (built in 2006), the next three digits are 068
(the 68th day). Ignore the last three digits.
> If the date code is 06059xxx or lower or it is 06095xxx or higher, the accelerator pedal does not require replacement. Continue with Step 7 of this procedure.
> If the date code is 06060 through 06094, replace the accelerator pedal.
Continue with Step 7 of this procedure.
> If the date code is not legible, replace the accelerator pedal. Continue with Step 7 of this procedure.
7. Connect the accelerator pedal electrical connector to the new accelerator pedal or original accelerator pedal (depending on inspection results).
8. Install the accelerator pedal into the vehicle and tighten the mounting nuts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 N.m) in the sequence shown in Figure 4.
9. Connect the negative battery cable.
