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 in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Refer to menu 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 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.
