FOREWORD [CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM]

1. Verify the customer concern by operating the cruise control system.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage using the following chart:

3. Check the wiring harness for obvious signs of shorts, opens, bad connections, or damage.

4. Verify that the speedometer and brake light function correctly.

5. Verify that the throttle cable is adjusted correctly and not holding the throttle open or increasing idle speed.

6. Make sure the throttle linkage operates freely and smoothly when connected to the cruise control cable and cruise actuator.

7. If the fault is not visually evident, verify the symptom and proceed to the Symptom Chart.

Self-Test

Warning

• This test is a key on engine off (KOEO) test that is conducted only in park with the parking brake fully engaged.

Note

• On vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle, the clutch pedal needs to be applied in order to correctly perform the self-test. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle, the transaxle selector lever needs to be in the P or N position.

• Enter self-test diagnostics by depressing the cruise control OFF switch while turning the ignition key on, making sure the engine does not start and is not running. The cruise control indicator light on the instrument cluster will flash once to indicate that the cruise actuator has entered the diagnostic mode. Five additional flashes at this point indicate a defective cruise actuator. Release the OFF switch.

• Press the remaining switches in this sequence: ON, RSM (resume), CST (coast) and SET/ACCEL.

Note

• If the ON switch is not pressed within 5 seconds after entering diagnostic mode, the module times out and the procedure must be started over.

• The cruise control indicator light will flash as each switched is pressed. Press each switch in the sequence immediately after the light goes out for the previous switch.

• A light flash with the last button (SET/ACCEL) indicates that the STATIC test has passed. If the light does not flash with the last button and there are no additional flashes of the light, the switch is defective. If the light does not flash with the last button, and additional flashes occur, follow the list below for trouble codes:

Note

• There will be a slight delay when the last button is pressed and the light flashes.

- 2 flashes: Brake switch is defective, circuit is defective or the brake pedal is applied.

- 3 flashes: brake switch 2 is open or circuit is defective.

- 4 flashes: Clutch/neutral switch circuit is defective, clutch switch is defective or the clutch is not applied.

• Immediately (0.25 second) after the static test has passed, the cruise actuator will carry out a dynamic test automatically by actuating the throttle lever from 1 - 10 mm (0.04 - 0.39 in.) of travel from the idle position. During the dynamic throttle pull, observe throttle movement to witness any binding or sticking of the actuator cable, verify the correct connection of the actuator cable to the throttle lever, and make sure that the throttle returns to the idle position. If incorrect connection and/or binding or sticking of the cruise control is observed, go to the Symptom Chart.
