Test SP-14A, Checking For Intermittent Faults

  1. Reconnect and reassemble all previously tested components. Connect DRB-II to engine diagnostic connector so DRB-II display can be seen from driver's seat. Road test vehicle. Using DRB-II, read cutout monitor on DRB-II display. If DRB-II display shows erratic vehicle speed, replace distance sensor. Perform VERIFICATION TEST SP-VER  .
  2. If DRB-II display does not show erratic vehicle speed, put cruise control ON/OFF switch in ON position. With vehicle speed at a minimum of 35 MPH, press and release cruise control set switch. If DRB-II display shows S/C DENIED, see appropriate DENIED MESSAGE in DRB-II INTERMITTENT FAULT MESSAGES  and correct problem as necessary.
    DRB-II INTERMITTENT FAULT MESSAGES

    Denied Message Problem To Correct
    BRAKE Open Circuit At Terminal No. 29 At SBEC
    CLUTCH RPM/Vehicle Speed Ratio Is Not Constant
    ON/OFF Lack Of Voltage At Terminal No. 23 Or No. 49 At SBEC
    P/N Ground Exists At Terminal No. 30 At SBEC
    RPM/SPD RPM/Speed Ratio Is Not Constant
    SPEED Vehicle Speed As Read By Distance Sensor Is Less Than 35 MPH
    RPM Engine RPM Is Excessively High
    SOL/FLT Fault In Servo Vent Or Vacuum Solenoid Circuit That Is Either Maturing Or Set
  3. If DRB-II display shows S/C ALLOWED and cruise control is operative, perform the following:
    • Check for cruise control disengagement without driver command by driving vehicle under various road conditions.
    • If cruise control disengages without driver command, read cutout monitor S/C DENIED message on DRB-II display. See appropriate DENIED MESSAGE in DRB-II INTERMITTENT FAULT MESSAGES  and repair as necessary.
    • If cruise control does not disengage without driver command, read cutout monitor on DRB-II display. Compare GOAL value with SPEED value. If values are not within 2 MPH of each other, replace SBEC.
