The vehicle has a optional adjustable brake to increase driver comfort. The brake pedal position is changed in phase with the accelerator pedal. The system is adjusted by pressing the dash-mounted switch that powers the driver motor mounted on the accelerator pedal assembly. The two-way motor operates backward (away from the driver) or forward (toward the driver) to adjust the accelerator pedal directly and the brake pedal through the drive cable attached to the brake pedal assembly.

PINPOINT TEST D: ADJUSTABLE BRAKE PEDAL INOPERATIVE
Test Step
Result / Action to Take
D1 CHECK MOTOR SOUND
- Allow two minutes for the thermal overload to reset.
- Operate the adjustable pedal control switch.
- Can the adjustable pedal motor be heard to operate?
Yes GO to D2 .
No GO to D7 .
D2 CHECK MOTOR INSTALLATION
- Check adjustable pedal motor for correct installation.
- Is the motor installation OK?
Yes GO to D3 .
No CORRECT the motor installation. TEST the system for normal operation.
D3 CHECK ADJUSTABLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SYSTEM
- Disconnect the brake pedal-to-accelerator pedal cable.
- Operate the adjustable pedal control switch.
- Does the adjustable brake pedal operate now?
Yes INSTALL a new adjustable brake pedal assembly. REFER to Section 206-06 . TEST the system for normal operation.
No GO to D4 .
D4 INSPECT FOR FOREIGN MATERIAL
- Inspect the adjustable accelerator pedal assembly for foreign material causing a binding condition.
- Was any foreign material found?
Yes REMOVE the foreign material. RETEST for normal operation.
No GO to D5 .
D5 CHECK CABLE
- Detach the adjustable pedal motor cable.
- Inspect the ends of the brake pedal motor cable for wear or damage.
- Are the cable ends OK?
Yes GO to D6 .
No INSTALL a new accelerator pedal assembly. REFER to Section 310-02 . TEST the system for normal operation.
D6 CHECK CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO BATTERY
- Key in OFF position. Adjustable Pedal Switch C290
- Disconnect the adjustable pedal switch C290.
- Measure voltage at C290-1 and C290-7.
- Is the voltage greater than 0 V at either pin?
Yes REPAIR the short to battery. TEST the system for normal operation.
No GO to D7 .
D7 CHECK POWER TO SWITCH
- Measure the voltage at C290-2 circuit 490 (RD).
- Is the voltage greater than 10 V?
Yes GO to D8 .
No REPAIR circuit 490 (RD). TEST the system for normal operation.
D8 CHECK GROUND TO SWITCH
- Measure resistance to ground at C290-3 circuit 57 (BK) and C290-6 circuit 57 (BK).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms at both pins?
Yes GO to D9 .
No REPAIR the open circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
D9 TEST SWITCH
- Connect fused jumpers between C290-1 and -2 and between C270-7 and -3.
- Does the adjustable pedal motor run in both directions?
Yes INSTALL a new adjustable pedal switch. TEST the system for normal operation.
No GO to D10 .
D10 CHECK SWITCH-TO-MOTOR CIRCUITS CONTINUITY
- Connect: Adjustable Pedal Switch C290.
- Disconnect: Adjustable Pedal Motor C2001.
- Measure resistance to ground at both pins of the adjustable pedal motor connector, circuits 1494 (RD) and 1495 (WH).
- Is the resistance less than 5 ohms at both pins?
