2001 BMW 330i AutomaticFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Cruise Control Drive program

A special cruise control shift map is selected by the TCM when cruise control is active. The TCM will prevent unwanted locking and unlocking of the torque converter clutch. Also, upshifting and downshifting will be minimized. Depending upon application, the cruise control interfaces with TCM via a single wire data link or as on vehicles with electronic throttle control, the TCM will interface with the ECM (DME).
