19. If the vehicle operator repeatedly presses and releases the SET buttonwith their foot off of the accelerator
(referred to as
lift foot set), the vehicle may accelerate and exceed the desired set speed by up to 5 mph (8km/h).
20. It may also decelerate to less than the desired set speed, before finally achieving the desired set speed.
21. The Speed Control System has an adaptive strategy that compensates forvehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths.
22. When the speed control is set with the vehicles operators foot off of theaccelerator pedal, the speed control
thinks there is excessive speed control cable slack and adapts accordingly.

23. If thelift foot setsare continually used, a speed control overshoot/undershoot condition will develop.
24. To
unlearnthe overshoot/undershoot condition, the vehicle operator has to press and release the set button
while maintaining the desired set speedusing the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerating).
25. Then turn the cruise control switch to the OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if equipped) after waiting

COLUMN
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The steering column on vehicles with an automatic transmission may not be equipped with an inter-
nal locking shaft that allows the ignition key cylinder to be locked with the key. Alternative methods of lock-
ing the steering wheel for service will have to be used.
The tilt and standard column (1) has been designed to be serviced as an assembly; less wiring, switches, shrouds,
steering wheel (4), etc. Most steering column components can be serviced without removing the steering column
from the vehicle.
To service the steering wheel, switches or airbag, refer to Restraints andfollow all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.
WARNING: The airbag system is a sensitive, complex electro-mechanical unit. Before attempting to diag-
nose, remove or install the airbag system components you must first disconnect and isolate the battery
negative (ground) cable. Then wait two minutes for the system capacitor todischarge. Failure to do so
could result in accidental deployment of the airbag and possible personalinjury. The fasteners, screws, and
bolts, originally used for the airbag components, have special coatings and are specifically designed for the
airbag system. They must never be replaced with any substitutes. Anytime anew fastener is needed,
replace with the correct fasteners provided in the service package or fasteners listed in the parts books.
CAUTION: Do not hammer on steering column shaft. This may cause damage to the shaft or bearing.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the pivot bolts to disassemble the tilting mechanism. Do not remove
shaft lock plate or plate retainer. This will damage the column.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove or modify the park lock slider or link.
NOTE: When servicing the steering wheel after removing the old bolt, a new bolt must be used when install-
ing.
NOTE: When servicing the coupler a new bolt must be used when installing.

DESCRIPTION - SRT10
The SRT-10 column has noSTARTposition on the key cylinder. The push starter button switch is mounted on the
Instrument panel center stack. All SRT-10 columns are Tilt columns, Standard cab trucks come with manual trans-
missions, Quad cab trucks come equipped with automatic transmissions.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
STEERING COLUMN
If the vehicle is involved in a front end collision/the air bag has deployedthe column must be inspected. This
inspection will determine if the Column has collapsed. Inspect the columnmounting capsules visually and manually
push and pull them to check for separation or fractures. If capsules are fractured or have moved the column MUST
be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: Before servicing the steering column the airbag system must be disarmed. Refer to electrical
restraint system for service procedures. Failure to do so may result in accidental deployment of the airbag
and possible personal injury.
CAUTION: All fasteners must be torqued to specification to ensure proper operation of the steering column.
1. Position the front wheelsstraight ahead.
2. Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery.
3. Remove the airbag, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS/DRIVER AIRBAG - REMOVAL).
4. Remove the steering wheel (1) with special tool
CJ98–1 (2) or an appropriate steering wheel puller.
(Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/STEERING
WHEEL - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: Ensure the puller bolts are fully
engaged into the steering wheel and not into the
clockspring, before attempting to remove the
wheel. Failure to do so may damage the steering
wheel/clockspring.
