Description - cruise control
General
All markets have a common cruise control system. The cruise control system, when activated, regulates vehicle
speed. The system consists of an electrical sub-system and a mechanical sub-system.
The electrical sub-system consists of the following components:
lCruise control master switch (on/off switch).
lSET+ switch.
lRES switch.
lCruise control ECU.
lVacuum pump assembly.
lBrake pedal switch.
lClutch pedal switch (manual gearbox only).
lSLABS ECU (speed signal).
lBCU (brake pedal switch and automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal).
The mechanical sub-system consists of the following components:
lPneumatic actuator.
lVacuum pump.
The cruise control ECU controls the cruise control system. It is located on the right hand A post.
The system has diagnostic capabilities through TestBook.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of losing control of the vehicle, do not use cruise control on winding, snow
covered or slippery roads, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot be safely maintained. In
these conditions and at any time the system is not being used, ensure the cruise control switch is OFF.
Cruise control master switch
The cruise control master switch switches the system on and off. When the cruise control master switch is on, an
LED within the switch illuminates. If the cruise control master switch is off, cruise control will not operate. The switch
provides a 12 Volt feed to the cruise control ECU.
The cruise control master switch is located on the instrument panel near the steering column.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-58 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Input/Output
The input from the cruise control master switch to the cruise control ECU is either a 12 Volts ignition feed or an open
circuit. 12 Volts indicates that the cruise control master switch is on and the system can be activated. An open circuit
indicates that the cruise control master switch is off and cruise control cannot be activated.
TestBook will not communicate with the cruise control ECU if the cruise control master switch is off.
SLABS ECU
The SLABS ECU provides the road speed signal to the cruise control ECU. This is the same speed signal provided
to the ECM. Cruise control will only operate between 28 - 125 mph (45 - 200 km/h). Cruise control will not operate if
a road speed signal is not present.
Input/Output
The input from the SLABS ECU to the cruise control ECU is a square wave oscillating between 0 - 12 Volts at a
frequency of 8,000 pulses per mile (1.6 km).

Cruise control ECU
The cruise control ECU controls the cruise control system.
Most functions of the cruise control ECU are described under other components.
Input/Output
The diagnostic line for the cruise control system is between cruise control ECU and diagnostic socket.
The cruise control ECU does not generate fault codes however the following system information is available via
TestBook:
lLast switch off reason, which was due to unacceptable speed input.
lSpeed signal detected.
lBelow minimum speed threshold.
lCurrent vehicle speed.
lRecorded SET road speed.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-60 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SET+/RES switches
The cruise control system uses two steering wheel switches labelled SET+ and RES.
The SET+ switch performs the set speed, tap up and accelerator functions. The RES switch performs the resume and
suspend functions.
With the cruise control master switch on and the vehicle in the cruise control operating speed range, one press of the
SET+ switch stores a speed value in the cruise control ECU. If the switch is pressed and held while the vehicle is
under cruise control operation, speed increases until the switch is released. At this point the cruise control ECU stores
the new speed value. If the switch is tapped (held down for less than 0.5 second) the cruise control ECU increases
vehicle speed by 1 mph (1.5 km/h).
If the RES switch is pressed while the systems is inactive (no stored values) the system will not respond. If there is
a stored value in the cruise control ECU memory and the switch is pressed, the cruise control system operates and
holds the vehicle at the stored road speed. If the cruise control system is active and the RES switch is depressed,
the cruise control ECU deactivates cruise operation but maintains the current set speed value.
Input/Output
The input from the SET+ switch to the cruise control ECU is either 12 Volts or an open circuit.
The input from the RES switch to the cruise control ECU is either 12 Volts or an open circuit.
The following diagnostic information is available through TestBook:
lThe state of operator switch SET+.
lThe state of operator switch RES.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-61
Brake pedal switch
The cruise control ECU has two inputs from the brake pedal switch that determine the position of the brake pedal.
One input comes through the BCU and is low when the brake pedal is not pressed. The second input comes directly
from the brake pedal switch. This input is high when the brake pedal is not pressed. On vehicles with a manual
gearbox, the input from the clutch pedal switch to the cruise control ECU is connected in series with the direct signal
from the brake pedal switch.
If the cruise control ECU receives a changed signal from either source, it deactivates cruise control, removing power
to the vacuum pump and activating the vacuum control valve releasing all vacuum in the system.
The brake pedal switch also provides the signal to illuminate the brake lamps and the brake input to the SLABS ECU.
Input/Output
With the brake pedal and the clutch pedal in the rest position, the cruise control ECU receives 12 Volts.
With the brake pedal pressed, the cruise control ECU receives 0 Volts and a low voltage logic signal from the BCU.
NOTE: If the clutch pedal is pressed, 0 Volts are present at the cruise control ECU irrespective of brake pedal position.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
18-2-62 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Clutch pedal switch
The clutch pedal switch is a single pole normally closed switch. It is part of the 12 Volt brake pedal switch circuit to
the cruise control ECU. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the cruise control ECU deactivates the cruise control
system and releases system vacuum. The last set speed is retained in the cruise control ECU.
Input/Output
The cruise control ECU receives a 12 Volt signal through the normally closed contacts of the brake pedal switch and
the normally closed clutch pedal switch.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 18-2-63
Body control unit
On manual gearbox vehicles, the BCU provides cruise control lockout or suspend function as described under brake
pedal switch.
On vehicles with automatic gearbox, the BCU monitors the status of the brake pedal switch as well as the status of
the automatic gearbox gear selector lever. The BCU monitors the gear selector lever to determine which gearbox
position the driver has selected. If the BCU detects that the driver has selected park, reverse or neutral, it sends a
signal to the cruise control ECU which inhibits cruise operation or deactivates cruise control if it is activated.
Input/Output
If the BCU receives a brake pedal switch signal or an automatic gearbox gear selector lever position signal, the BCU
sends a HIGH signal to the cruise control ECU. The cruise control ECU cancels or inhibits cruise control functions.
