Cruise Control Description and Operation: Notes

Cruise control is a speed control system that maintains a desired vehicle speed under normal driving conditions at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). Steep grades may cause variations in the selected vehicle speeds.

The following are the main components of the cruise control system:

• The clutch release switch, if equipped with a manual transmission
• The cruise control switch
• The powertrain control module (PCM)
• The stop lamp switch
• The torque converter clutch (TCC) brake/cruise release switch
• The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor
• The vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
