SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
M13FBCKIACCELERATOR CABLE INSPECTION AND
a ’ADJUSTMENT
For models equipped with the cruise control system, refer to
P. 13-l 58.(1) Turn air conditioner and lights OFF.
Inspect and adjust at no load.
(2) Warm engine until stabilized at idle.
(3) Confirm idle speed is at prescribed rpm.
(4) Stop engine (ignition switch OFF).
(5) Confirm there are no sharp bends in accelerator cable.
(6) Check inner cable for correct slack.
(7) If there is too ‘much slack or no slack, adjust play by the
following procedures.@ Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (without
starting the engine) and leave in that condition for
approximately 15 seconds.@Loosen the adjusting bolts on the air intake plenum, and
then secure the outer cable so that the free play of
th,einner cable will be the standard value.
Standard value:
1 - 2 mm (.04 - .08 in.)3-5 mm
(.12-.20 in.)
NOTE
\JIf there is excessive play of the accelerator cable, the
vehicle speed drop (“undershoot”) when climbing a slope
will be large.
If there is no play (excessive tension) of the accelerator
cable, the idling speed will increase.
(8) After adjusting, confirm that throttle valve fully opens and
closes by operating pedal.
(9) Adjust accelerator cable play and confirm throttle lever
stopper touches the fixed SAS.

(6) Depress the accelerator pedal to check that the throttle
lever moves smoothly from the fully-closed to fully-opened
position.
(7) Check the free travel state of the inner cables of the
accelerator cable, cruise control cable and throttle cable.
(8) If the inner cables are too loose or have no free travel at all,
check using the following procedure.@ Remove the’ link protector.
@ Loosen the adjusting and lock nuts of the throttle lever
and intermediate links A, B and C to place the throttle
lever and intermediate links A, B and C in the free state.

CRUISE CONTROL SETTING CHECK(1) Switch ON the main switch.
(2) Drive at the desired speed within the range of approximate-
ly 40
- 145 km/h (25 - 90 mph).
(3) Operate the control switch downward. (SET switch: ON)
(4) Check to be sure that the speed is the desired constant
speed when the switch is released, and also check to be
sure that the CRUISE indicator light (within the combination
meter) illuminates.
NOTEIf the vehicle speed decreases to approximately 15 km/h (9
mph) below the set speed, because of climbing a hill for
example, the cruise control will be cancelled.
SPEED-INCREASE SETTING CHECK(1) Set to the desired speed.
(2) Operate the control switch upward. (RESUME switch: ON)
(3) Check to be sure that acceleration continues while the
switch is hold, and that when it is released the constant.
speed at the time when it was released becomes the
driving speed.
NOTEEven if, during acceleration, the vehicle speed reaches or
exceeds the high limit [approximately 145 km/h (90 mph)],
acceleration will continue, however, when the switch is
released, the set speed (“memorized speed”) will become
the high limit of the vehicle speed.
SPEED REDUCTION SETTING CHECK(1) Set to the desired speed.
(2) Operate the control switch downward. (SET switch: ON)
(3) Check to be sure that deceleration continues while the
switch is held, and that when it is released the constant
speed at the time when it was released becomes the
driving speed.
NOTEWhen the vehicle speed reaches the low limit [approx-
imately 40 km/h (25 mph)] during deceleration, the cruise
control will be cancelled.
CRUISE CONTROL CANCELLATION AND SET SPEED RE-
SUME CHECK(1) Set cruise control.
(2) In the cruising condition of the cruise control mode, check
that when any of the following operations are performed,
the normal drive mode is restored and
,the vehicle coasts
smoothly.@ Move the control switch toward you. (CANCEL switch:@ Depress the brake pedal.@ Depress the clutch pedal.
@ Place the gear selector lever in the N range.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH INSPECTION(1) Remove the air bag module using the following procedure.I07FOO12
07NOOl@ Remove the negative terminal of the battery and wait
for more than 30 seconds.
d
CautionThe capacitor in the SRS diagnosis unit retains
enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a given
period even after disconnection of the battery. If anoperation is performed during that given period,
unintended deployment of the air bag could result
and cause serious injury.@Remove the air bag module. To remove the clock spring
connector
(squib connector) from the air bag module,
force the lock outward and pry it with a plain screwdriv-
er as shown at left so that no undue force will be
exerted on the connector when it is removed.@ The removed air bag module should be stored in a
clean, dry, flat place with the pad side up.
(2) Disconnect the connector of the control switch and operate
the control switch to measure the resistance between the
individual terminals.
If the readings are as shown below, the control switch may
be considered good.

operating sounds of the solenoid valves are heard.
(4) If the solenoid valves are defective, replace the vacuum
pump assembly.
Inspection of Motor
(1) Disconnect the connector of the vacuum pump assembly.
(2) Check that when the battery voltage is applied across
terminals @ and
@, the motor operates.
ACTUATOR INSPECTION(1) Remove the actuator.
(2) Using a vacuum pump, apply a negative pressure to the
actuator to check that the holder portion moves more than
35 mm (1.4 in.). Retain the negative pressure in that state to
check that the holder portion does not change its position.
