Toyota 78180-60280 Cable Assy, Accelerator Control

To remove the accelerator cable, start by prying the cable end off the shaft using a small screwdriver. Then, loosen the accelerator cable locknut and remove the cable from the bracket assembly. Next, detach the screws and clips retaining the lower instrument trim panel on the driver's side and remove the trim piece. Pull the cable end out and up from the accelerator pedal recess. To disconnect the cable at the firewall, remove the cable retainer bracket bolts and push the cable assembly through the firewall from inside the passenger compartment. For installation, reverse the removal steps and ensure that flexible components are not routed within two inches of moving parts. Operate the accelerator pedal to check for any binding condition. Apply sealant around the accelerator cable at the engine compartment side of the firewall to prevent water from entering the passenger compartment if necessary. There is no specific adjustment for these types of accelerator cables, but it may be necessary to adjust the kick down cable for the automatic transmission.

Ensure the throttle cable bracket is not bent or loose before making any adjustments, and confirm that the rubber boot is properly seated on the adjuster. Press the accelerator pedal fully to the floor, ensuring the throttle cable in the throttle body is completely open; check and adjust the accelerator cable if needed. Measure the distance the stopper or painted mark on the cable extends from the boot, adjusting as necessary to achieve the proper length. If the boot-to-stopper clearance is incorrect, loosen and back off the outer adjusting nut, then turn the inner adjusting nut to adjust the cable housing for the specified clearance, making sure to tighten the outer nut to secure the housing in place.

To remove the throttle cable, first disconnect the battery's negative terminal. Then loosen the throttle body's locknut and remove the cable end. Detach the Accelerator Cable from the accelerator pedal by removing bolts and sliding out the cable end. Remove bolts securing the cable casing to the firewall and pull out the cable. For installation, reverse these steps, ensuring the grommet is seated properly. For adjustment, depress the pedal fully, check the throttle opening, and adjust if necessary. Finally, tighten the locknuts and verify the throttle closes when the pedal is released.
