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.

Inspect for damage, cracking or deterioration. Replace if faulty.
Caution1. Operation of any type, including idling, should be
avoided if engine misfiring occurs. Under this conditionthe exhaust system will operate at abnormally high
temperature, which may cause damage to the catalystor underbody parts of the vehicle.
2.Alteration or deterioration of ignition or fuel system, or
any type of operating condition which results in enginemisfiring must be corrected to avoid overheating the
catalytic converters.
3.Proper maintenance and tune up according to manufac-turer’s specifications should be made to correct the

CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECK I
MZlFOAAWhen checking the check valve, keep the check valve fit in the
vacuum hose.
1. Remove the vacuum hose.
CautionL’The check valve is press-fit inside the vacuum hose and
do not remove the check valve from the vacuum hose.
5.Measure the clearance to the toe board (or pedal stopper)
when the clutch disengages. In the case of AWD vehicles,
measure with the engine running.
Clearance to toe board when clutch disengages:
Standard value: 55 mm (2.2 in.) or more
6.If the play and/or clearance is out of specification, bleed the
hydraulic system or check the master cylinder, release
cylinder or clutch proper.
CLUTCH BOOSTER OPERATING INSPECTION
MZlFCAAFor simple checking of clutch booster operation, carry out the
following tests.
(I) Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it.
(2) Step on the clutch pedal several times. with normal
pressure.
If the pedal depressed fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times the
dbooster is operating properly.
If the pedal height remains unchanged, the booster is
faulty.
(3) With the engine stopped, step on the clutch pedal several
times with the same foot pressure to make sure that the
pedal height will not change.
Then step on the clutch pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is faulty.
(4) With the engine running, step on the clutch pedal and then
stop the engine.
Hold the pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If the pedal
height does not change, the booster is in good condition.
If the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
If the above three tests are okay, the booster performance can
be determined as good.
If one of the above three tests is not okay at last, the check
valve, vacuum hose, or booster will be faulty.

QUICK REFERENCE CHART FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
“1. The G. sensor is a sensor associated with ride control (detecting pitching, bouncing and rough road). If itfails, therefore, ride control stops.
“2. A self diagnostic decision on the steering angular velocity sensor is made by the ECS control unit which
internally detects the voltages of the two sensor output lines connected to the ECS control unit to detectan open circuit in the signal line. When the signal line is short-circuited or when the power line is
open-circuited, however, it cannot be detected. In a situation where anti-roll control only stops, if
self-diagnosis code No. 21 is not on display, a short-circuited sensor output line or open-circuited sensorpower line is suspected.
“3. The vehicle speed sensor is a sensor associated with attitude controls (anti-dive, anti-squat) and steering
stability controls (anti-roll, high speed sensitive controls). If all these controls stop, therefore, trouble in the
sensor is suspected. The vehicle speed sensor is also in use for operation of the speedometer and for theother electronics controlled systems for the engine, automatic transaxle, etc.
“4. The sensor associated with anti-squat control is the throttle position sensor. The sensor is also used for
control of the engine and automatic transaxle. If the sensor fails, therefore, the check engine light in the
combination meter will light, and engine self-diagnosis code No. 14 will be output. In a situation whereanti-squat control only stops, therefore, if the check engine light does not light, defective wiring is
suspected between the ECS control unit and throttle position sensor.
