Cruise Control - Inoperative/Malfunctioning

CRUISE CONTROL INOPERATIVE/MALFUNCTIONING

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

IMPORTANT: Perform the following in order to avoid misdiagnosis.
- Inspect for proper operation of brake lamps.
- Inspect throttle linkage for mechanical binding which could cause the system to malfunction.
- When testing vehicles equipped with steering wheel controls, the steering wheel must be rotated to each stop position while testing the cruise control switch signal circuits. This will assure the integrity of the (SIR) coil.
- Inspect for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the PCM.
- EMI on the speed sensor signal circuit may cause erratic cruise control operation.
