Troubleshooting Hints

Problems occurring with the cruise control system can be caused by either the electrical or the mechanical components. These two areas should be completely isolated before proceeding with diagnosis. Diagnosis should begin with the simplest operation first, working up in order of difficulty.

^ Check that the cruise control cable is connected to both the actuator and to the cruise control bracket/accelerator lever assembly.
^ Check that the cruise control cable and accelerator lever are able to move freely.
^ Check the cruise control module and the actuator for bare, broken or disconnected wires.

If the mechanical inspection reveals no abnormalities and the cruise control system is inoperative, proceed to Electrical Diagnosis.
