Description & Operation: Notes
WARNING:
Because of Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) system, before any repairs are performed, disconnect and shield battery ground. Because system has ability to retain voltage, remove SIR fuse and disconnect Yellow SIR connector at base of steering column. Wait 15 minutes before beginning service. All connectors used on SIR system use Connector Position Assurance (CPA) clips to ensure connector retention. Even if system is disconnected, use caution when working near steering column.
Cruise control system uses a control module to obtain desired vehicle cruise speed. An electronic controller and an electric stepper motor inside of control module are 2 important components in the cruise control system. Controller monitors vehicle speed and operates electric stepper motor. Stepper motor moves a ribbon and throttle linkage.
Cruise control module contains a low speed limit to prevent cruise engagement below a minimum speed of 25 MPH. Control switches located on multi-function turn signal lever operate controller. Electric brake switches mounted on brake pedal bracket electrically disengage cruise system when brake pedal is depressed.
