  1. Start the engine.
  2. Turn on the cruise control main switch, then drive the vehicle to speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h) with the cruise control.

Does the cruise control operate?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Check the cruise control unit (see page 4-44) or cruise control actuator.

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P) and cruise control unit 14P connector.
  3. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal E12 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short to ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal E12 and the cruise control unit 14P connector terminal No. 8.

NO - Go to step 6.

  1. Reconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P) and the cruise control unit 14P connector.

  1. Connect a voltmeter between the No. 8 terminal of the cruise control unit 14 P connector and body ground. Test-drive the vehicle at speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h) with the cruise control set, and watch the voltmeter.

Is there about 1 V?

YES - Go to step 8.

NO - Replace the cruise control unit.

  1. Connect a voltmeter between ECM/PCM connector terminal E12 and body ground. Drive the vehicle at speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h) with the cruise control set, and watch the voltmeter.

Wire side of female terminals

Is there about 1 V?

YES - Check for loose connectors. If necessary replace the ECM/PCM and recheck (see page 11-3) or 5-door (see page 11-309).

NO - Repair open in the wire between ECM/PCM connector terminal E12 and the control unit 14P connector terminal No. 8.
