Trouble Shooting

  1. PCM will disable cruise control if any of the following conditions are detected:
    • Engine is off.
    • Transaxle is in Park, Neutral, Low or Reverse.
    • Engine speed is too high.
    • Vehicle speed is too high.
    • Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are set.
  2. Ensure cruise control module linkage is connected and moving freely. Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system disconnected.
  3. Check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If any codes are present, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article below.
  4. Ensure cruise control linkage is not binding. Check cruise control cable adjustment. See CRUISE CONTROL CABLE  under ADJUSTMENTS. Ensure brake switch is installed correctly. See the BRAKE & CLUTCH RELEASE SWITCHES  under ADJUSTMENTS. Ensure center high mounted brakelight is operating.
  5. Check fuses, and replace as necessary. Visually inspect for broken or open wires. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed.
