ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-72 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Several fault codes can be generated:
Fault codes
1"Output power LOW when HIGH is expected" is flagged when Pin C0239-11 is shorted to earth.
This could be due to an external fault or an internal ECU fault and will be set if pin C0239-11 is LOW for longer
than 240 milliseconds, while in cruise mode.
2"Output power HIGH when LOW is expected" is flagged when Pin C0239-11 is shorted to battery voltage.
This could be due to an external fault or internal ECU fault and will be set if pin C0239-11 is HIGH for longer than
250 milliseconds while not in cruise mode.
3"Output pump LOW, when High is expected" is flagged when Pin C0239-7 is shorted to earth.
This could be due to an external fault or an internal ECU fault. This fault will be set if pin C0239-11 is HIGH for
longer than 7.5 milliseconds while pin C0239-7 is LOW for longer than 2.5 milliseconds while decelerating under
control of cruise.
4"Output pump HIGH, when LOW is expected" is flagged when Pin C0239-7 is shorted to battery voltage.
This could be due to an external fault or an internal ECU fault. This fault will be set if pin C0239-7 is LOW for
longer than 7.5 milliseconds of the last 8 pulses when the pump is switched on while accelerating under the
control of cruise.
5Output valve LOW, when HIGH is expected is flagged when Pin C0239-7 is shorted to battery voltage.
This could be due to an external fault or an internal ECU fault and will be set if pin C0239-17 is LOW for longer
than 2.5 milliseconds while pin C0239-7 is HIGH for longer than 2.5 milliseconds and pin C0239-11 is also HIGH
for longer than 7.5 milliseconds, while decelerating under control of the cruise control ECU.
6Output valve HIGH, when LOW is expected is flagged when Pin C0239-17 is shorted to battery voltage.
This could be an external fault or an internal ECU fault. The fault will be set if pin C0239-17 remains HIGH for
longer than 35 milliseconds after the vacuum control valve is switched on, while accelerating under control of
the cruise control ECU.
TestBook can be used to determine the fault codes present as well as the general status of the system.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-73
Pneumatic actuator
The cruise control ECU controls the position of the throttle disc by regulating the amount of vacuum applied by the
vacuum pump to the pneumatic actuator. The pneumatic actuator is an air tight bellow coupled to the pneumatic pump
via a vacuum pipe. The pump evacuates the air inside the bellow and pipe, which collapses the bellow. This pulls on
a cable, which moves the throttle disc to the desired position. On vehicles from 03 model year, the cruise control
vacuum pump and pneumatic actuator assembly is fitted with a heat shield to protect the components from heat from
the exhaust manifold.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-74 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation - cruise control
Cruise control activation
Cruise control is a passive system. The driver must activate it. Switching on the cruise control master switch located
on the instrument panel activates cruise control. An LED in the switch illuminates, indicating cruise control is
available. The driver must accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed using the accelerator pedal. When the desired
speed is reached, pressing the SET+ switch activates cruise control. Cruise control will only activate if the following
conditions are met:
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The cruise control ECU receives the set signal and determines the vehicle speed provided by the SLABS ECU. The
cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator and the linkage to the
throttle disc to maintain set road speed. It does this by controlling the vacuum to the pneumatic actuator.
Cruise control cancellation
Cancelling cruise control enables the driver to regain control of the vehicle speed by using the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is cancelled if any of the following conditions occur:
lThe brake pedal is pressed.
lThe RES switch button is pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe cruise control master switch is turned off.
lThe gearbox is placed in park, neutral, or reverse (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The cruise control ECU cancels cruise control operation by opening a vacuum control valve in the vacuum pump
assembly. This releases the throttle linkage from the control of the pneumatic actuator and returns it to the control of
the accelerator pedal.
The set speed will be stored in the cruise control ECU unless:
lThe cruise control master switch is turned off.
lThe ignition switch is turned off.
If cruise control is deactivated using either of the above methods, the set speed will be erased from the memory of
the cruise control ECU.
Cruise control resume
Cruise control can be resumed at the previously set speed, provided the set speed has not been erased from the
cruise control ECU memory as described above. To resume cruise control operation to the previously set speed,
depress the RES switch once when the following conditions are met:
lA set speed is stored in the cruise control ECU.
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The cruise control ECU activates the vacuum pump assembly to move the pneumatic actuator. This moves the
throttle to the set speed by adjusting the position of the throttle disc.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-75
Accelerating while cruise control is active
There are three ways of increasing vehicle speed when cruise control is active:
lTemporarily increase vehicle speed (e.g. when overtaking another vehicle).
lIncrease vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.5 km/h) increments.
lIncrease vehicle set speed.
To temporarily increase vehicle speed press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is reached. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle coasts back to the set speed. When it reaches the set speed, cruise control
operation continues.
To increase the vehicle set speed in 1 mph (1.5 km/h) increments, tap the SET+ switch. Each tap on the switch
increases vehicle speed.
To increase the vehicle set speed, press and hold the SET+ switch until the desired set speed is reached.
The vehicle set speed will increase if the following conditions are met:
lThe vehicle is under cruise control operation.
lVehicle speed is between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h).
lThe brake pedal is not pressed.
lThe clutch pedal is not pressed (manual gearbox only).
lThe gearbox is not in park, reverse or neutral (automatic gearbox only).
Function
The vehicle responds as follows:
lIf the driver accelerates using the accelerator pedal, vehicle speed increases overriding pneumatic actuator
position. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle returns to the set speed.
lIf the SET+ switch is tapped, the driver increases the stored speed and vehicle speed by 1 mph (1.5 km/h) per
tap on the switch.
lIf the driver presses and holds the SET+ switch, the vehicle speed increases until the SET+ switch is released.
This becomes the new set speed for the cruise control ECU.
Switching off cruise control
Switching off cruise control allows the driver to regain control of vehicle speed. It erases the set road speed from the
cruise control ECU memory.
To switch off cruise control, press the cruise control master switch to the off position.
Function
When the cruise control master switch is turned off, the cruise control ECU switches off power to the vacuum pump
assembly. The vacuum dump valve opens releasing the vacuum in the pneumatic actuator, returning the throttle disc
to driver control via the accelerator pedal.
