Acceleration Control System: Diagnosis Ford Taurus IV facelift

Inspection and Verification

Note. Care should be exercised when carrying out repair on or around the accelerator pedal linkage and controls.

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage.
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and refer to the «SYMPTOM CHART»(ref-212116-S18462900082005122300000) .

Symptom Chart
