Before carrying out trouble diagnosis, check all th e following items.
Is the vacuum hose correctly installed and undamag ed?
2. Are the auto-cruise, accelerator, and throttle c ables routed correctly?
3. Do the link assembly and cables move smoothly?
4. Is the play of each cable within its standard va lue?
