AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

M1172000100258

By using the auto-cruise control, the driver can drive
at the desired speed [in a range of approximately 40
− 200 km/h (25 − 124 mph)] without depressing the

accelerator pedal.

AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

M1172003300239

The auto-cruise control system allows driving without
stepping on the accelerator pedal by setting a ran-
dom speed between 40 km/h (25 mph) and 200 km/h
(124 mph). Problems in this system can be investi-
gated by the following methods.

Auto-cruise control system diagnostic
trouble codes

The auto-cruise control system consists of the
auto-cruise control-ECU, control switches, sensors
and vacuum pump. The control switches and sen-
sors monitor the state of the vehicle. Based on input
signals from those switches and sensors, the

auto-cruise control-ECU activates the vacuum pump.
If the auto-cruise control-ECU detects a problem on
any of those components, the ECU estimates where
the problem may be occurring, and will output a diag-
nostic trouble code. Diagnostic trouble codes cover
the throttle position sensor, auto-cruise control
switch, vehicle speed sensor <M/T>, auto-cruise
control-ECU and vacuum pump.

AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1172002000257

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

customer exists.

3. Check the vehicle for any auto-cruise control

system DTC.

4. If you can verify the condition but no auto-cruise

control system DTCs are set, and the malfunction
may be intermittent. Refer to GROUOP 00, How
to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
− How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-6

.

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

auto-cruise control system DTCs, or the system
cannot communicate with scan tool MB991958,
refer to Symptom Chart

P.17-48

and find the fault.

6. If there is an auto-cruise control system DTC,

record the number of the code, then erase the
code from vehicle memory using the scan tool.

7. Re-create the auto-cruise control system DTC set

conditions to see if the same Auto-cruise Control
System DTC will set again.

• If the same Auto-cruise Control System DTC sets

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

P.17-12

, Auto-cruise Control

System Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.
