Models with 4-cylinder engines without traction control


Withdrawal


1. Disconnect the negative battery cable (chapter 5 paragraph 1).

2. Remove the camera (paragraph 4).

3. Remove the clip securing the cable sheath to the throttle body bracket (see fig. 5.3, a, b). Disconnect the cable end from the throttle linkage and free the cable from all clips and ties.



4. Inside the passenger compartment - in the area located above the gas pedal, pull the end switch and bushing out of the pedal, and then release the cable, leading it through the pedal slot (see fig. 5.4). Tie a rope to the end of the rope.



5. Pull the cable into the engine compartment through the bulkhead until you can untie the rope and remove the cable.


Installation


6. Installation - in the reverse order of removal. Pull the cable through the partition by the rope.

7. Adjust cable as follows.

Adjustment


8. Remove the intake duct chamber (paragraph 4).

9. Locate the cable adjuster. It is located on the throttle body bracket or in a place spaced from the end of the cable by a distance of about two thirds of its length and is fixed to the support of the right front suspension strut (see fig. 5.9). Remove the metal clip and lubricate the regulator bushing with soapy water.



10. Take up the slack by pulling the cable out of the adjuster. Have an assistant fully depress the gas pedal. This will push the cable sheath back into the regulator. While holding it in this position, install it in the clamp.

11. Make sure the throttle moves smoothly throughout its travel (from fully open to fully closed position and back) while your assistant depresses and releases the gas pedal. Re-adjust the cable if necessary.

12. After completing the adjustment, install the camera (paragraph 4).

Models with 4-cylinder engines and traction control system


Note: The procedure in this subparagraph applies to the entire cable. Please note that the cable sections connecting the pedal to the actuator and the actuator to the throttle body are shipped separately. They can be removed and installed separately, and if you do so, follow the procedure presented in this subparagraph with the appropriate modifications.



Withdrawal


13. Disconnect the negative battery cable (chapter 5 paragraph 1).

14. Remove the camera (paragraph 4).

15. Remove the clip securing the cable sheath to the throttle body bracket. Disconnect the cable end from the throttle linkage and free the cable sheath from all clips and ties.

16. Disconnect the electrical connector of the traction control actuator and remove the mechanism cover (see fig. 5.16).



17. Considering how the cable sections are connected to the pulleys, disconnect the first cable trailer from the top throttle actuator pulley. Then pull the cable sheath up out of the actuator housing. Disconnect the second cable from the lower actuator pulley in the same manner.

18. Inside the passenger compartment - in the area located above the gas pedal, pull the end switch and bushing out of the pedal, and then release the cable, leading it through the pedal slot. Tie a rope to the end of the rope.

19. Pull the cable into the engine compartment through the bulkhead until you can untie the rope and remove the cable.

Installation


20. Installation - in the reverse order of removal. Using a rope, pull the cable connecting the pedal to the actuator through the bulkhead. Make sure the ends of the cables are connected to the appropriate actuator sheaves.


21. Adjust both cables as follows.

Adjustment


Note: Both sections of cable must be adjusted together, even if you only removed one of them.


22. Remove the camera (paragraph 4).

23. Remove the metal clip from the adjuster of each cable section (see fig.5.23). Lubricate the regulator bushings with soapy water.



24. Take up the slack by pulling both cable sheaths as far as possible out of their respective adjusters.

25. Disconnect the traction control actuator electrical connector and remove the mechanism cover. Block both pulleys together by inserting an appropriately sized rod into their alignment holes. Disconnect the cable end connecting the actuator to the throttle body from the throttle linkage.

26. Ask the assistant to fully squeeze the gas pedal. In this case, the sheath of the cable connecting the pedal to the actuator will again enter the regulator. While holding it in this position, install the clip.

27. Attach the end of the cable connecting the actuator to the throttle body to the throttle linkage. Make sure the cable sheath bushing is correctly locked into the housing bracket.


28. Again, ask the assistant to fully squeeze the gas pedal. The sheath of the cable connecting the actuator to the throttle body must re-enter the regulator. While holding it in this position, install the clip.

29. Remove the blocking rod from the pulleys. Make sure the throttle moves smoothly - all the way through (from fully open to fully closed position and back) while your assistant depresses and releases the gas pedal. Re-adjust the cable if necessary (s).

30. After completing the adjustment, install the traction control actuator cover and electrical connector, and prechamber (paragraph 4).

Models with V-shaped 6-cylinder engines and traction control system


Note: The procedure in this subparagraph applies to the entire cable. Please note that the cable sections connecting the pedal to the actuator and the actuator to the throttle body are shipped separately. They can be removed and installed separately, and if you do so, follow the procedure presented in this subparagraph with the appropriate modifications.


Withdrawal


31. The accelerator cable consists of primary and secondary sections. The primary section is connected to the accelerator pedal and traction control actuator located in the right front corner of the engine compartment. The secondary section is connected to the traction control actuator and sector on the throttle body.

32. Pull the clip and remove the shell of the secondary section from the bracket (see fig. 5.32).



33. Disconnect the cable from the sector or lever on the throttle body. There. where necessary, remove the elastic clamp (see Fig.5.33, a, b).



34. On release models from 01.1997, disconnect the shell of the secondary section of the cable from the clamp on the inner panel of the left wing.

35. Unhook the shell of the secondary section of the cable from the clamp in front of it.

36. Disconnect the wiring from the traction control motor.

37. Carefully remove the cover from this engine (chapter 9, paragraph 24).

38. Disconnect the secondary section of the cable from the upper sector on the engine. Then detach the secondary cable sheath from the bracket on the engine.

39. Release the shell from the fasteners and disconnect the primary section of the cable from the lower sector on the engine. Detach the primary section shell from the engine bracket.

40. Inside the passenger compartment, disconnect the primary cable section from the gas pedal. Tie a rope to the end of the sheath of the cable section.

41. Pull the cable into the engine compartment through the bulkhead until. when it will be possible to untie the rope and remove the primary section of the cable.

Installation and adjustment


42. Installation - in the reverse order of removal. Using a rope, pull the cable connecting the pedal to the actuator through the bulkhead. Make sure. that the ends of the cables are connected to the corresponding sectors of the actuator.

43. Adjust both cables (paragraph 23...30).
