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.
Normal Operation
The driver command input signals are sent to the speed control actuator from the speed control switches through command circuit 151 (LB/BK) and return circuit 848 (DG/OG). When different speed control switches are pressed, the speed control actuator interprets the values of the resistances that have been set by each individual switch. When these inputs are received by the speed control actuator, a stepper motor is prompted to pull the throttle through a speed control cable and maintain a selected speed.
