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.
General Information: General Description
The Cruise Control (CC) system keeps the vehicle running at a fixed speed until a signal canceling this fixed speed is received. When the PCM receives a signal from the cruise control switch, the PCM commands the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) motor to hold the vehicle at the current (set) speed. The same circuit between the switches and the PCM is used for all switch functions. When a switch is pressed, the voltage changes on the signal wire. While the system is operating, the "CRUISE" indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up.
