Trouble Shooting

NOTE: If problem is intermittent, check for faulty wiring and components by wiggling wiring harnesses and components (DO NOT vigorously wiggle relays).
  1. Ensure actuator cable is not too loose (may cause vehicle to lose speed when driving uphill) or too tight (causes high idle speed). Check for codes. See RETRIEVING CODES  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If any codes are set, perform appropriate procedure under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS . If no codes are set, go to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM  table.
  2. If it is suspected cruise control ECU is not receiving an input from a switch or speed sensor, check input signal circuits. See INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUITS  under CIRCUIT TESTS. If problem is still present after all testing, replace cruise control ECU.

(1) See appropriate TEST under CIRCUIT TESTS .
(2) See DTC 21  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
(3) See DTC 32  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
(4) See DTC 11 OR 15  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS.
(5) Check cruise control cable. See ADJUSTMENTS .
(6) Check Cruise Control ECU input. See PIN VOLTAGE TESTS .
(7) See DTC 23  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
(8) See DTC 51  under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
(9) It is normal if the transmission is slow to resume overdrive (system is designed to operate like this). However, it should shift eventually.
