Acceleration Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Pickup, 2005 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2005 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The throttle is controlled by an accelerator pedal position sensor on the accelerator pedal assembly. The accelerator pedal should travel smoothly from the IDLE position to the WIDE OPEN THROTTLE position. Hesitation or binding should not be experienced at any portion of the accelerator pedal travel. Surrounding components such as wiring, sound insulator and floor carpet must not contact or interfere with the accelerator pedal.

Some vehicles are equipped with adjustable pedals. This allows both the accelerator and brake pedals to be adjusted simultaneously forward or rearward. A rocker switch on the instrument panel provides adjustment on the pedal assembly when it is activated. On vehicles with the memory seat option, the pedal position can be controlled by the memory selection, as well as the rocker switch. The adjustable accelerator pedal can be serviced separately from the adjuster. The components in the acceleration control system are not adjustable and new components must be installed if damaged or worn.
