Note: The TV cable is used to release the gas when the AT switches to a lower gear in kick-down mode – it should not be confused with the accelerator pedal throttle cable.
Examination
1. Before checking the TV cable, make sure that the free play adjustment of the accelerator cable is correct (see Chapter Power and exhaust systems) and idle speed (see Chapter Routine maintenance).
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
3. By pressing and releasing the gas pedal, make sure that the throttle control lever on the AT is synchronized with the accelerator rod.
4. If synchronization is disturbed, make the necessary adjustments to the TV cable (see below).
5. Have an assistant depress the accelerator pedal all the way and check that the throttle lever on the transmission has a slight play.
6. Disconnect the cable end from the lever.
7. Check the free movement of the lever. If jamming points are detected, seek assistance from automatic transmission specialists.
8. Reconnect the TV cable to the drive lever on the transmission.
Adjustment
1. Follow the procedures outlined in paragraphs 1 and 2 above.
2. Make sure that the accelerator lever is in the closed throttle position.
3. Loosen the TV cable lock nut at the top of the cable, near the throttle body.
4. Press the damper drive lever to the fully closed position, then remove the play in the TV cable by tightening the adjusting nut.
5. Tighten the lock nut.
6. Make sure that the drive lever is synchronized and functioning properly. Also, make sure that when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the drive lever on the transmission has a slight free play. The absence of a slight play indicates a faulty lever or damage to the control mechanism inside the transmission.
