5.4. Using a 1/2” wrench, adjust the accelerator stop until there is a .030” to .125” (0.8 to 3.2 mm) gap
between the brake latch and the pawl. Use a feeler gauge to verify the gap (Figure 6-11).
5.5. Measure and record the distance from the floormat to the top of the accelerator pedal, then lock
the park brake. With the park brake locked, make sure that at least 75% of ratchet tooth length
engages the pawl (Figure 6-12).
5.6. With the park brake still locked, measure the distance from the top of the accelerator to the floor-
board again. If the measurement has changed, ratchet tooth engagement is too deep.
5.7. If ratchet/pawl engagement must be adjusted, separate the ball joint at the top of the park brake
rod and thread the ball joint sleeve clockwise to increase engagement or counterclockwise to
decrease engagement. Reconnect the ball joint.
5.8. Reconnect the accelerator push rod.
• Adjust the Park Brake - All Electric Vehicles:
5.1. Inspect the park brake pawl and latch for excessive wear, grooves, cracks, or chipping. If either
the pawl or latch is damaged, both must be replaced.
5.2. Use a feeler gauge to check gap between the ratchet and pawl. If the gap is not between .030”
and .125” (0.8 to 3.2 mm), (Figure 6-11) See Adjust the Accelerator Pedal Stop, Page 6-7.
5.3. Lock the park brake. With the park brake locked, make sure that at least 75% of ratchet tooth
length engages the pawl (Figure 6-12).
PEDAL GROUP DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY -
