Mazda Tribute Throttle Cable

The Mazda Tribute Throttle Cable is the mechanical connection that exists between the throttle plate on the engine and the right foot of the driver, and converts foot movement into the needed fine changes in airflow to generate acceleration and allow the engine to continue operating at a steady pace. Prior to the electronic drive by wire system, this braided metal Throttle Cable strand made Mazda drivers feel that they had a direct touch with the SUV as they physically touched the throttle body through several linkages to open and close the butterfly valve. Initial versions of the Tribute applied this system only, sliding the Throttle Cable in a lubricated sleeve, passing through the cabin via the firewall to the throttle shaft, to which an adjustable end plug maintained the appropriate tension. Subsequent model years moved to electronic throttle control, although some Mazda models continued to use the cable temporarily, forming two distinct fashions. The classic Throttle Cable operates on pure mechanism, providing simplicity, immediate pedal feel and is adjustable easily at the roadside, but the electronic setup replaces the cable with dual pedal sensors and a small electric motor that is commanded by the powertrain control module, and incorporates traction and stability operations, but eliminates mechanical feel. Nevertheless, even with the development, most Mazda drivers would still enjoy the feel of the older cable type with its tactile feedback and reduced failure modes, and the newer system would remove that feel in favor of extra safety compensation and the absence of sticking or binding components.

Mazda Tribute Throttle Cable Parts and Q&A

  • Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Mazda Tribute?
    A:
    This process will only work on the 2008 and earlier models, where the newer models use an electronic Throttle Body which is operated and managed by thePowertrain Control Module(PCM) which is fed by the Accelerator Pedal Position(APP) sensor. To start with, remove the cable off the negative terminal of the battery. In case of V6 models, lose the engine cover, undo three nuts. In four-cylinder models, remove the accelerator cable connector to the air intake duct, whereas in V6 models, remove the accelerator cable connector bracket to the intake manifold by removing a bolt. To disconnect the accelerator cable with cable bracket, rotate the cable housing 90 degrees and remove the cable, and then to disconnect the cable with throttle body, remove the retainer clip and pull the end of the cable off the pin on the linkage on four-cylinder model. Second, unhook the accelerator cable of the throttle body and, located in the passenger compartment, unhook the cable of the accelerator pedal. Go back to the engine compartment, grab the cable through the firewall and as far as the lower end plugs to the grommet, take off the grommet and pull the cable through the hole. Removal is installation to the contrary. Ask an assistant to step on the accelerator pedal and release it with the throttle valve moving freely in between fully closed and fully open and vice versa. Once the battery is reconnected the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) needs to re-learn its idle and fuel trim strategy to provide maximum driveability and performance.
