STEP 8. Check the output circuit voltage at auto-cruise
control-ECU connector C-20 (terminal numbers 7,8 and 16)
by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-20.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and the

auto-cruise control main switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 7 and ground by

backprobing.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage. [When decel-

erating with the "SET" switch while driving at constant
speed (Release valve open).]

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 8 and ground by

backprobing.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage. [When decel-

erating with the "SET" switch while driving at constant
speed. (Control valve open).]

(5) Measure the voltage between terminal 16 and ground by

backprobing.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage. (When the

motor is stopped during a constant road speed.)

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Are all of the above values satisfied?

YES : Check that diagnostic trouble code 14 is not output. If

diagnostic trouble code 14 is output, replace the
auto-cruise control-ECU (Refer to

P.17-92

.). Then

check that diagnostic trouble code 14 is not.

NO : Go to Step 9.

STEP 9. Check auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-20
and intermediate connector C-94.
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 14 is not output.

NO : Go to Step 10.

STEP 10. Check auto-cruise control vacuum pump
connector A-01.
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 14 is not output.

NO : Go to Step 11.

STEP 11. Check the auto-cruise vacuum pump.
(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the auto-cruise vacuum

pump and connect a vacuum gauge to the vacuum pump.

(2) Disconnect the vacuum pump connector.
(3) Check the auto-cruise vacuum pump and valves according

to the following procedure:

• Connect the positive battery terminal to auto-cruise vac-

uum pump connector terminal 1, and the negative bat-
tery terminal to terminals 2, 3, and 4. The vacuum
gauge should read 27 kPa (8.0 in Hg) or more.

• The vacuum should be maintained when terminal 4 is

disconnected from the negative battery terminal while
terminals 1, 2, and 3 remain connected. Then the vac-
uum gauge should read 0 kPa (0 in Hg) when terminal 2
is disconnected from the negative battery terminal while
terminals 1, and 3 remain connected.

• The vacuum should be maintained when terminal 4 is

disconnected from the negative battery terminal while
terminals 1, 2, and 3 remain connected. Then the vac-
uum gauge should read 0 kPa (0 in Hg) when terminal 3
is disconnected from the negative battery terminal while
terminals 1, and 2 remain connected.

Q: Are all of the above values satisfied?

YES : Go to Step 12.
NO : Replace the auto-cruise vacuum pump (Refer to

P.17-92

.). Then check that diagnostic trouble code 14

is not output.

STEP 12. Check the harness wire between auto-cruise
control vacuum pump connector A-01 (terminal numbers
2,3 and 4) and auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-20
(terminal numbers 7,8 and 16).
Q: Is any harness wire between auto-cruise control

vacuum pump connector A-01 (terminal numbers 2,3
and 4) and auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-20
(terminal numbers 7,8 and 16) damaged?
YES : Repair harness wire and then check that diagnostic

trouble code 14 is not output.

NO : Check that diagnostic trouble code 14 is not output. If

diagnostic trouble code 14 is output, replace the
auto-cruise control-ECU (Refer to

P.17-92

.). Then

check that diagnostic trouble code 14 is not output.

STEP 13. Check the output circuit voltage at auto-cruise
control-ECU connector C-20 (terminal number 5) by
backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-20.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and the

auto-cruise control main switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 5 and ground by

backprobing.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the voltage approximately battery positive voltage?

YES : Go to Step 14.
NO : Go to Step 15.

control-ECU connector C-20 and stoplight switch
connector C-03 for open circuit or damage. Then
repair if necessary. Then check that diagnostic trouble
code 14 is not output.

STEP 15. Check auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-20.
Q: Is the connector damaged?

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