Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Electronic Control Module (ECM) & Cruise Control Module
The ECM/cruise control module interprets position of servo, mode control switches and output of Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). In response to these inputs, the module signals the opening or closing of the vent and vacuum solenoid valves in the servo. On most models, cruise control module is located behind left side of instrument panel. To determine whether cruise control is controlled by ECM or cruise control module, see appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS section.
