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
Vehicles equipped with a manual transaxle have an additional clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch. The clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch, normally closed, supplies a ground signal to the PCM. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch moves to the open position, removing the ground signal from the PCM, which deactivates the cruise control.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Clutch pedal cruise control deactivator switch
- PCM
