REMOVAL PROCEDURE
NOTE: Refer to Handling Electronic Throttle Control Notice in Cautions and Notices.
1. Remove the left Instrument Panel (IP) lower closeout insulator panel.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the accelerator pedal sensor module.
3. Remove the accelerator pedal.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Install the accelerator pedal to the steering column support bracket.
NOTE: Refer to the Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
IMPORTANT: Always use a torque wrench in order to obtain the proper torque.
2. Install the accelerator pedal mounting bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the accelerator pedal mounting bolts to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).
3. Connect the electrical connector to the accelerator pedal sensor module.
4. Test for proper throttle opening and closing range by operating the accelerator pedal and monitoring the throttle angles using a scan tool. The accelerator pedal should operate freely without binding between full closed throttle and Wide Open Throttle (WOT).
5. Inspect the carpet fit under the accelerator pedal.
6. Install the left IP lower closeout insulator panel.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
