Cruise Control: Description and Operation

SPEED CONTROL

See the Tribute Wiring Diagram for schematic information.

2.3L, 3.0L (4V)

The speed control system is designed to maintain vehicle speed between 48 and 200 km/h (30 and 125 mph).

Normally, when the brake pedal is applied, the speed control actuator deactivates the speed control system. Under increased brake pedal effort, the deactivator switch, a normally closed switch, will open and remove power from the speed control actuator, releasing the throttle.
