Cruise Control: Description and Operation

Speed Control

The speed control system consists of the following components:

- Speed control switches
- Speed control indicator
- PCM
- Electronically controlled throttle body
- Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch (manual transmission)
- Stoplamp switch
- Speed control deactivator switch

The speed control system is controlled by the PCM. The speed control system is designed to maintain a selected vehicle speed between 37 km/h (23 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. The speed control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (ON, OFF, SET+, SET-, and RES), CPP switch (manual transmission), and the brake pedal. The steering wheel mounted switches are hardwired to the PCM.

It is normal for the engine rpm to increase slightly and then drop off slowly when the clutch pedal is pressed during speed control operation.
