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.
Cruise Control
On models equipped with cruise control, the system is operated by the PCM. PCM receives inputs from Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), servo diaphragm position sensor, cruise control switch and brake release switch. Based on these inputs, PCM controls position of cruise control stepper motor. PCM prevents system engagement at speeds of less than 25 MPH. PCM is not serviceable; if defective, it must be replaced. A system fault is stored as a DTC in PCM memory.
