Actuator Cable Adjustment
1. Check that the actuator cable moves smoothly
with no binding or sticking.
2. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating
temperature (radiator fan comes on).
3. Measure how far the output linkage moves before
the engine speed starts to increase.
Make sure you begin with the linkage at the fully
closed position. Free play should be 11 ± 1.5 mm
(0.43 ± 0.06 in).
