CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control is integrated into the ECM because of the EDK operation.
Cruise control functions are activated directly by the multifunction steering wheel to the
ECM. The individual buttons are digitally encoded in the MFL switch and is input to the ECM
over a serial data wire.
The ECM controls vehicle speed by activation of the Electronic Throttle Valve (EDK)
The clutch switch disengages cruise control to prevent over-rev during gear changes.
The brake light switch and the brake light test switch are input to the ECM to disengage
cruise control as well as fault recognition during engine operation of the EDK.
Road speed is input to the ECM for cruise control as well as DSC regulation. The vehicle
speed signal for normal engine operation is supplied from the DSC module (right rear wheel
speed sensor). The road speed signal for cruise control is supplied from the DSC module.
This is an average taken from both front wheel speed sensors, supplied via the CAN bus.
