CIRCUIT OPERATION
This circuit judges the signals of each switch ("OFF," 
"SET," "RESUME," "CANCEL" and "MAIN") of the 
auto-cruise control switch. The auto-cruise con-
trol-ECU detects the state of the auto-cruise control 
switch by sensing the voltages shown below.

• When all switches are OFF, the ECU detects 3.5 

− 5.0 volts.

• When the "SET" switch is ON, the ECU detects 

0.4 

− 2.3 volts.

• When the "RESUME" switch is ON, the ECU 

detects 2.3 

− 3.5 volts.

• When the "CANCEL" switch is ON, the ECU 

detects 0.4 volts or less.

• When the main switch is ON, the ECU detects 7.0 

volts.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
This code is output when the auto-cruise control 
switch "RESUME" switch, "SET" switch or "CAN-
CEL" switch stays ON.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The most likely causes for this code to be set are:

• Malfunction of the auto-cruise control switch.

• Malfunction of the clock spring.

• Damaged harness or connector.

• Malfunction of the auto-cruise control-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check the 12-Volt supply circuit voltage at 
auto-cruise control switch connector C-82 (terminal 
number 1).
(1) Disconnect auto-cruise control switch connector C-82 and 

measure at the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the voltage approximately battery positive voltage?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check auto-cruise control switch connector C-82.
Q: Is the connector damaged?

YES : Repair or replace connector. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then check 

that diagnostic trouble code 15 is not output.

NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the clock spring.
Refer to GROUP 52B, Air Bag Modules and Clock Spring 

P.52B-146

.

Q: Is the clock spring damaged?

YES : Replace the clock spring. Refer to GROUP 52B, Air 

Bag Modules and Clock Spring 

P.52B-146

. Then 

check that diagnostic trouble code 15 is not output.

NO :  Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check clock spring connector C-84.
Q: Is any connector damaged?

YES : Repair or replace connector. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then check 

that diagnostic trouble code 15 is not output.

NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check clock spring connector C-96.
Q: Is any connector damaged?

YES : Repair or replace connector. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then check 

that diagnostic trouble code 15 is not output.

NO :  Check the harness wire between multi-purpose fuse 

No.21 and auto-cruise control switch connector C-82 
for open circuit or damage. Then repair if necessary. 
Then check that diagnostic trouble code 15 is not 
output.

STEP 6. Check the output circuit voltage at auto-cruise 
control switch connector C-82 (terminal numbers 2 and 3) 
by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect auto-cruise control switch connector 

C-207.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 2 and ground by 

backprobing.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage. (MAIN switch 

is at the "ON" position.)

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 3 and ground by 

backprobing.

• Voltage should be between 6.8 and 7.2 volts. (MAIN 

switch is at the "ON" position.)

• Voltage should be between 3.5 and 5.0 volts. (All 

switches are at the "OFF" position.)

• Voltage should be between 0.4 and 2.3 volts. ("SET" 

switch is at the "ON" position)

• Voltage should be between 2.3 and 3.5 volts. 

("RESUME" switch is at the "ON" position.)

• Voltage should be between 1 volt or less. ("CANCEL" 

switch is at the "ON" position.)

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the voltage within specifications?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Check auto-cruise control switch connector C-82.
Q: Is the connector damaged?

YES : Repair or replace connector. Refer to GROUP 00E, 

Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then check 

that diagnostic trouble code 15 is not output.

NO :  Go to Step 8.
