Vehicle speed control: cables
- What is wrong
- During assembly, water may have entered the accelerator control cable conduit causing it to develop a high effort and/or binding condition in very cold weather.
- Risk
- High effort or binding conditions cause loss of normalthrottle control or the throttle may not return to idle when the accelerator pedal is released. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, a vehicle crash could occur.
- Remedy
- The dealer will purge the throttle cable of any internally trapped water, if it is present.
