Servo Assembly

The procedure for repairing and servicing the cruise control servo begins with removing the speed control actuator cable cap from its mounting on the speed control actuator through soft pressure on the locking arm followed by counterclockwise rotation of the cap. First disconnect the speed control actuator cable through the process of pressing on the spring retainer then extracting the core wire end from the speed control actuator pulley. Begin by pressing down the tab located on the electrical connector. Removing grommets from the speed control actuator bracket should be strictly avoided. Disassemble the speed control actuator bracket using its securing bolts followed by bracket screws. The installation process requires proper placement of rubber grommets into the speed control actuator bracket to achieve noise and vibration reduction before you install the bracket with the speed control actuator. Place the speed control cable slug inside the speed control actuator pulley slot and apply light compression to the spring before proceeding. Correctly position the rubber seal on the speed control actuator cable cap because improper cable fitting against the pulley creates a high idle problem. To finish the process release the compressed spring and position the cable cap tabs into their designated slots on the actuator housing before rotating the cable cap until the locking arm works.

The cruise control servo repair process starts with taking out the nut and bolt which fasten the accelerator control splash shield. The first step involves removing the speed control servo from the inner fender by taking off the disconnected speed control cable end from its position on the throttle nail head. The first step requires you to remove the speed control servo bracket mounting bolts followed by disconnecting the electrical connector. A user can pop open the locking tab and rotate the speed control cable cap to take it off. To proceed with the speed control core wire end removal from the speed control servo pulley you must gently push the retaining spring followed by removing the speed control cable slug from within the pulley. The next step requires users to remove the speed control servo mounting bolts then separate the bracket from the servo. Reverse the removal sequence to mount the component as you put back the rubber seal onto the speed control cable cap.

The cruise control servo service requires first disconnecting the speed control cable from the speed control actuator before removing the electrical connector from the same unit. Start service of the cruise control servo by removing the two bolts which anchor the speed control actuator and bracket assembly. The first step for installation involves tightening the bolts to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) after which workers should follow the opposite order of removal steps to confirm the tabs on the speed control cable are in position and the cable extends completely into the accelerator bracket. Inspect that the rubber seal completely covers the speed control cable cap.

Service and repair of the cruise control servo starts with unmounting the left front inner splash shield. Secure the speed control servo in a safe position and then take out all screws which attach it to the vehicle. Detach the electrical connector before placing the servo momentarily to the side. Please depress the locking tab to proceed with removing the cap which surrounds the speed control actuator cable. Then push the retaining spring to disconnect the speed control cable slug from the speed control servo pulley. The speed control cable slug should be fed into the speed control servo pulley slot so that a gentle push against the retaining spring will achieve full seat. The speed control actuator cable cap tabs should be positioned correctly into the speed control servo housing slots so the rubber seal completely covers the cap to stop high idle situations. Use the cap to rotate it until the locking tab secures before reinstalling the speed control servo by fastening it with bolts and plugging in the electrical connector. Reattach the left front inner splash shield as a last step.

The first step for repairing or servicing the cruise control servo requires the removal of the engine cover through a straight upward motion after dislodging the push-pins. The first step concerns pushing forward the speed control cable end of the throttle nailhead for detachment. First disconnect the tire and wheel from the left front (LF) wheel position before removing the inner splash shield from LF. Depress the speed control actuator bracket assembly except for the electrical connector then remove the bolts to detach the bracket from its position with the speed control actuator. Depress the locking tab while rotating the speed control cable cap until removal and disconnect the speed control cable from the speed control actuator pulley through retaining spring gentleness followed by speed control cable slug extraction. The installation process of speed control actuator pulley slot requires you to fully seat the speed control cable slug before properly aligning the speed control cable cap tabs with speed control actuator housing slots. The correct seating of the speed control cable cap together with its seal around the speed control actuator pulley remains vital because it avoids high idle situations and achieves complete rubber seal positioning. Twist the speed control cable cap to lock its tab then you can attach the bracket to the speed control actuator and bolt it in place. After repair the speed control actuator bracket assembly should be installed while the electrical connector needs to be connected before putting back the LF inner splash shield, wheel, and tire. Put on the speed control cable end at the throttle nailhead while reinstalling the engine cover.

Service and repair of the cruise control servo begins with removing the speed control actuator cable cap through a counterclockwise rotation of the cap after pushing in its locking arm. You must remove the speed control actuator cable by activating the spring retainer through depression while pulling the core wire end out from the speed control actuator pulley. The electrical connector requires disconnecting after pushing down on the connector tab. The rubber grommets should stay intact on the speed control actuator bracket. Remove the attaching bolts of the speed control actuator and bracket before removing screws that secure the speed control actuator bracket. Begin speed control actuator bracket installation by properly seating rubber grommets which provide both noise reduction and vibration dampening effect. The speed control actuator's installation requires inserting the speed control cable slug through its pulley slot but only while you carefully compress the actuator spring. The proper functioning of the speed control actuator depends on the complete seating of the rubber seal onto the cable cap because improper pulley cable wrapping can result in a high idle mistake. To finish the installation process release the compressed spring while using the speed control actuator cable cap tabs to slot into the actuator housing ports and turn the cable cap until the locking arm activates.

Service of the cruise control servo requires starting by removing components according to the illustration and table's specified order. In order to service the speed control actuator and bracket operators should remove both components together as one unit. The installation process should include the opposite order of the removal steps to finalize the procedure.

Align the tabs with the slots in the speed control servo housing, ensuring the rubber seal is fully seated onto the cap.

Remove the speed control brake and actuator as an assembly.

Position it aside, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the bolts to separate it from the speed control servo.
