Micro Switch Adjustment
When the system is in correct adjustment, the micro
switch in the accelerator pedal box will click when the top
of the accelerator pedal moves approximately 1/2" - 5/8"

To access the micro switch, remove the rocker panel, lift
the floor mat and remove the access cover from the floor

the pedal box (Ref. Fig. 8).
