2002 Chevrolet S10 Throttle Cable Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the throttle cable/linkage on 2002 Chevrolet S10?

  A: The Throttle Cable/linkage service begins by taking off the air cleaner outlet duct followed by disconnecting the Throttle Body cable from both the accelerator control cable bracket and cable routing bracket. The first removal process includes disconnecting the accelerator cable from its bracket clip while removing the left closeout/insulator panel. The first step involves removing the accelerator cable panel insulator retainer from the accelerator cable while you disconnect the cable from the accelerator pedal. Push the bulkhead through while compressing the tangs located on the accelerator cable. When installing the accelerator cable it must be inserted from the bulkhead before mounting the accelerator cable panel insulator retainer onto the cable. The accelerator pedal receives the accelerator cable together with the bracket clip as the staff installs the cable onto the Throttle Body groove ensuring complete seating within the pulley area. Staff should then secure the cable to the cable control bracket and the routing bracket before reattaching the air cleaner duct. A free and unbound movement of the accelerator pedal from closed to wide open throttle requires priority for proper installation. The accelerator pedal operation can be checked by turning on the ignition while keeping the engine off then observing the throttle position (TP) sensor parameter through a scan tool before depressing the accelerator pedal to the floor and verifying the throttle position moves from 0 percent to 100 percent and back to 0 percent. Reinstall the left closeout/insulator panel as the last step.
