AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM - Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTINGN14,EBPWThe auto-cruise control system performs control functions for
the setting or cancellation of the fixed-speed driving speed
based upon the data provided by input signals. As a result,
when the auto-cruise control system is canceled by abnormal
system operation, the cause of the cancellation is memorized
in a separate circuit by the ECU, thus providing the ECU with
the self-diagnosis function by certain fixed patterns, as well as
the function of being able to check whether or not the ECU’s
input switches or sensor are normal. Thus, by effectively usingthese function, the time required checking and repair can be
shortened.

Auto-cruisecontrol unitDescription of operation
When the SET switch is switched ON (at the vehicle speed
desired to be maintained, and with the CRUISE switch of the
cruise-control switches ON) that vehicle speed is maintained as
a constanf speed.
Furthermore, the constant speed is gradually reduced (the
“coasting” feature) when the SET switch is pressed and held
while the vehicle is traveling at the previously set constant
speed, and, when the SET switch is released, the vehicle then
maintains that newly set constant speed (the speed at whichthe SET switch was released).
Current flows to the control unit, the cruise control switch
(“SET”), and to ground.Troubleshooting hint

Auto-cruisecontrol unit
Cruise-controlswitchDescription of operation
The set speed (before cancellation) resumes when the RE-SUME switch is switched ON, even if the constant-speed
control has been cancelled.That speed will not resume, however, even if the RESUME
switch is switched ON, if the CRUISE switch is switched OFF
and if the vehicle speed decreases to 40 km/h’
(25 mph) or
lower.
In addition, when the RESUME is switched ON and held while
the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed, the vehicle speed
will increase; the speed at which the switch is subsequently
released will become the newly set constant speed.Current flows to the control
unit, the cruise control switch
(RESUME), and to ground.

The vehicle-speed sensor is installed within the sljeedometer; it
sends to the control unit pulse signals that are proportional to
the rotation speed (i.e., the vehicle speed) of the transaxle’soutput gear.
This vehicle-speed sensor is the reed switch type of sensor; it
generates four pulse signals for each rotation of the speedo-
meter’s driven gear.Troubleshooting hint

Cruise-controlswitchDescription of operation
Hold modeWhen the SET switch is turned ON by the driver turning the
CRUISE switch ON when a determined speed is reached, thecontrol unit receives a set signal, and turns the auto-cruise
vacuum pump motor ON. After the constant speed is reached,
the motor, control valve and release valve are repeatedly turned
ON and OFF according to driving conditions.
Acceleration mode
When the RESUME switch is pressed, the control unit receives
a RESUME signal and it not only turns the auto-cruise vacuum
pump motor ON but also turns the control valve and releasevalve ON (valve is closed).
Deceleration mode
When the SET switch is held down, the control unit receives a
set signal and
it not only turns the auto-cruise vacuum pumpmotor and control valve OFF (valve is opened) but also turns the
release valve ON (valve is closed).
Release modeWhen the CRUISE switch is turned OFF, the control unit
receives a cancel signal and it not only turns the auto-cruisevacuum pump motor OFF but also turns the control valve and
release valve OFF (valve is opened).Troubleshooting hint
