2016 ITS plunger adjustment
I decided to look over my ITS while removing the rocker panel to install a diamond plate one. My gap is wider than it should be. My plunger does seem to be flush or slightly under flush when pedal is pushed. I figured I could loosen the lock nut at the time and adjust a little. I loosened that nut to compress the spring and tried the plunger but it won’t budge. ITS box is clean and no water intrusion. Plunger looks polished and has a coat of grease on it. What am I doing wrong bc I can’t get it to turn at all? Also the service manual was wrong in the wrench sizes I needed to adjust.

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
I see some of these have a set screw but mine does not.

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
Any help here please? Am I correctly loosening the right locking nut at the pedal yoke as shown in the ezgo diagram? Do I compress the spring? Do I turn the plunger using a wrench? I am at a loss as to why mine won’t turn. Help please

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
The locknut I loosened was inside the ITS box just behind the plunger. Looking at a couple different adjustment diagrams I do see where they refer to the locknut at the pedal but then they also show the one behind the plunger. Try the one behind the plunger and see if that works for you.

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
There is a recessed allen head screw on some of the plunger collar. Once loosened the plunger can be turned by using 2 wrenches on the 2 nuts. The lock screw on mine was darn near on the bottom side.

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
Yours is different than mine, but is there any adjustment to the cable just outside the box, that would "push" the cable/plunger towards the ITS? Are you sure you even need to adjust? Can you hook up a laptop to see if the controller sees throttle at 100% when fully depressed?

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
I just got my cable. I can try a little later. The gap isn’t crazy but it’s wider than it should be. The most annoying part of it is the pedal pre travel feels long b4 the plunger engages the ITS sensor

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
The coil inductance begins to change as the plug approaches the bore, so even if it is not inserted, it alters the sensor value. Calibrating the distance is more about setting the starting ITS value, before it begins to change.

Re: 2016 ITS plunger adjustment
The plunger has to be able to move otherwise they couldn’t assemble the box. I’m betting there is a set screw out of sight on the bottom.
