- If the range of movement is not 76 mm (3 in), check the connector that supplies power to the adjusting motor, the tightness of the nuts and bolts that secure the power adjustable pedals to the vehicle's body, the power adjustable pedals switch, and all the moving parts that relate to movement.
- If the problem cannot be fixed, replace the power adjustable pedals assembly Service and Repair.
- Check the range of movement again. If the range is 76 mm (3 in), go to the step 2.
