Adjustment the Accelerator Pedal Stop - Early 1995 Electric Vehicles, Continued:
4.5. Check the park brake ratchet/pawl gap. It should be between .030 and .125 inches (.08-.32 cm)
(Figure 6-11). If the gap is not at least .030”(.08 cm), adjust the accelerator pedal stop bumper to
widen the gap to between .030” and .050” (.08-1.27 cm). If the gap is greater than .125” (.32 cm),
adjust the accelerator pedal stop bumper to decrease the gap to between .110” and .125” (.28-.32
cm). If it was necessary to adjust the ratchet/pawl gap, then it will be necessary to repeat steps
4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. See NOTE below.
