Abstract

A vehicle pedal stroke limiting tool is configured for testing applications within a host vehicle which includes a conventional brake, clutch and/or throttle pedal assembly disposed between the operator's seating position and a vehicle cabin bulkhead, wherein the pedal assembly is manually displaced by operator foot action between a released position and an extended position. The pedal stroke limiting tool includes a base member which is temporarily mounted on the foot pad of the pedal assembly for travel therewith. A stop arm is affixed to the base member and is selectively adjustable to extend toward the cabin bulkhead for stopping travel of the pedal assembly before it reaches its extended position. Force and displacement sensors are mounted to the stroke limiting for obtaining test data.
