DLC3 is located under the left side of the instrument panel. See Fig 1. Turn the ignition switch ON. Read the DTC on the CRUISE MAIN indicator light. All DTCs are 2-digit numbers.

See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONSΒ . If same DTC is not received, but fault is still present, diagnose and repair problem based on existing symptoms. See CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM SYMPTOMSΒ  table.
  3. If same DTC is not received and fault is not present, fault may have occurred in wire harness or connector in the past. Check connectors for loose, damaged or corroded terminals.
