Actuator Control Cable
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus RX 300 and 2002 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check that the actuator, control cable throttle link are properly installed and that the cable and link are connected correctly.
- Check that the actuator is operating smoothly.
- Check that the cable is not loose or too tight. If the control cable is very loose, the vehicle's loss of speed going uphill will be large. If the control cable is too tight, the idle RPM will become too high.
- The results are OK if freeplay is less than .39 in. (10 mm).
