CRUISE CONTROL

GENERAL INFORMATION

M1172000101660

By using the cruise control system, the driver can 
drive at preferred speeds in a range of approximately 
40 to 160 km/h (25 to 100 mph) without depressing 
the accelerator pedal.

For this cruise control system, in conjunction with the 
electronic throttle valve control system, the engine 
control module (ECM) electronically controls the 
throttle valve.

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

M1172003300370

The cruise control system allows driving without 
stepping on the accelerator pedal by setting a ran-
dom speed between 40 km/h (25 mph) and 160 km/h 
(100 mph). Malfunctions in this system can be inves-
tigated by the following methods.

Cruise control system diagnostic trouble 
codes

The cruise control system consists of the engine con-
trol module (ECM), control switches and sensors. 
The switches and sensors monitor the state of the 
vehicle. The ECM controls the throttle valve opening 
angle in the throttle body in accordance with the 
input signals from the switches and sensors. If the 
ECM detects a malfunction on any of those compo-
nents, the ECM estimates where the problem may be 
occurring, and will set a diagnostic trouble code. 
Diagnostic trouble codes cover the cruise control 
switch, stoplight switch and ECM.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1172002000860

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If 
you follow them carefully, you will check most of the 
possible causes of an cruise control system malfunc-
tion.
1. Gather information from the customer.
2. Verify that the condition described by the 

customer exists.

3. Check the vehicle for any cruise control system 

DTC. (Refer to 

P.17-12

, Diagnostic Function 

− 

How to Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

4. If you can verify the condition but no cruise control 

system DTCs are set, the malfunction may be 
intermittent. (Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How 

to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

).

5. If you can verify the condition but there are no 

cruise control system DTCs, find the fault. (Refer 
to 

P.17-38

, Symptom Chart).

6. If there is an cruise control system DTC, record 

the number of the code, then erase the code. 
(Refer to 

P.17-12

, Diagnostic Function 

− How to 

Erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

7. Re-create the cruise control system DTC set 

conditions to see if the same cruise control 
system DTC will set again. (Refer to 

P.17-12

, 

Diagnostic Function 

− How to Read Diagnostic 

Trouble Codes).

• If the same cruise control system DTC sets 

again, perform the diagnostic procedures for the 
set code. (Refer to 

P.17-15

, Diagnostic Trouble 

Code Chart).

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION

M1172004900483

HOW TO READ DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position while press the 

"COAST/SET" switch. Then, within one second, release the 
"COAST/SET" switch and press the "ACC/RES" switch.
