Replacement Procedure
| IMPORTANT | The brake pedal drive motor, drive cable and transmission for the electronic adjustable pedal (EAP) are not serviced separately, but as a unit. The new drive motor assembly will be preset in full forward position. |
| IMPORTANT | The EAP must be set to the full forward position whenever work is done on or around the pedal assembly. |
- Remove the steering column. Refer to «Steering Column Replacement»(ref-200360-S32780745292005102000000) in Steering Wheel and Column.

Install the drive cable to the accelerator pedal. Attach a variable speed electric hand drill to the drive cable. Set the drill motor on the slowest speed. If the drill motor has a clutch setting, set it on the weakest or lowest setting allowing the drive cable to rotate. Rotating the drive cable in a clockwise rotation, move the accelerator pedal to the full forward position.
- Remove the electrical connector from the drive motor.
