Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Accelerator
Operation: Disassembly of the accelerator potentiometer

In the vehicle model examined (General Motors) the sensor is part of a monobloc complete with pedal. In some models it is possible to replace only the sensor. The operations to be carried out are quite simple and similar for all vehicles, but of course the accelerator position is impervious to reach. As a precaution, disconnect the battery and then with a flat screwdriver remove the sensor plug and extract it. The sensor, along with the pedal, is locked by two 10 hex head screws. A socket / ratchet wrench will be required to remove them. At this point it will be sufficient to carry out the operations in reverse order to assemble the spare part and reconnect the battery.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
