NOTE: Perform BASIC INSPECTIONΒ  BEFORE performing this check. Cruise control input signal check should only be performed if no diagnostic trouble codes are present.
  1. Cruise control input signal check is used to determine if major input circuits are functioning properly when no trouble codes are present. To perform input signal check, turn ignition switch on.
  2. Push and hold SET/COAST or RES/ACC switch on cruise control switch. Press cruise control switch to ON position. Ensure CRUISE indicator light on instrument cluster flashes 2 or 3 times repeatedly after 3 seconds to confirm that input signal check mode has been entered. Release SET/COAST or RES/ACC switch on cruise control switch.
  3. Perform operation method in order given in illustration. See Fig 1. For STEPS 1-3 of Cruise Control Input Signal Check, ignition switch needs to be in ON position. For STEP 4 of Cruise Control Input Signal Check, front of vehicle must be safely supported on jack stands to allow drive wheels to rotate with transaxle in Drive.
  4. Verify normal code is displayed by CRUISE indicator light as each circuit is activated. Normal codes are single-digit codes for each operation. See Fig 1. If a normal code is not received during testing, that circuit is probably faulty. Proceed to diagnose fault by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEXΒ  table under SYSTEM TESTS.
