Fig. 11.7. Checking the clutch pedal position switch
2. The clutch pedal position switch is in good condition if the circuit is open when the sensor rod extends less than 4 mm from the end of the sensor housing, and the circuit is closed when the rod extends more than 4 mm.
Installation
- Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
- On vehicles with 4G93 and F9Q1 engines since 2000, first tighten nut A (Fig. 11.8) of the clutch master cylinder, and then nuts B of the pedal bracket. The pedal bracket cannot be installed correctly if nuts B are tightened first. This is because the holes for the studs in the bracket are oval.
