Diagnostic help
The car is driven and cruise control engaged while checking the conditions for cruise control with the diagnostic tool. Start fault diagnosis on the condition that cannot be fulfilled.

The diagnostic tool contains a group of readings entitled "REASON CC WAS SWITCHED OFF". The values are from the latest occasion cruise control was working and shows the reason it was disengaged. They are stored as long as the control module is energized and are therefore suitable for locating intermittent faults.

- Cruise B, unit ON/OFF.
- Cruise C, unit ON/OFF.
- Clutch or Brake Switch, unit ON/OFF.
