pump. If fuel pressure drops slowly, fuel injector is leaking or fuel
pressure regulator valve seat is leaking. Check for faulty fuel
injector or fuel pressure regulator. Repair as required.
11) When fuel pressure test is complete, repeat fuel pressure
release procedure in steps 1) and 2) before disconnecting fuel
pressure gauge. Install new "O" ring at end of high pressure hose.
Check for fuel leaks.

Control Relay
Multipurpose relay switches power to vehicle sensors and
actuators including airflow sensor, crank angle sensor, idle speed
control, injectors and fuel pump. When ignition switch is turned to ON
position, ECU energizes coils controlling injectors, airflow sensor
and idle speed control. When ignition switch is turned to START
position, ECU energizes coils (through inhibitor switch on A/T models)\
to supply power to fuel pump. Relay failure will cause a no-start
condition. For testing procedure, see SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING
article.
IGNITION CHECKS
SPARK
Check for spark at coil wire (if applicable) and at each
spark plug wire using a high output spark tester. Check spark plug
wire resistance on suspect wires. For wire resistance specification,
see C - SPECIFICATIONS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
CRANK ANGLE SENSOR
For crank angle sensor testing procedure on all models except
Ram-50, Stealth, Eclipse, Laser, Pickup and 3000GT, see TEST NS-5:

TESTING CRANK ANGLE SENSOR CIRCUIT - G - TESTS W/CODES article in the
ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
On Eclipse and Laser, see NS-4A: REPAIRING CRANK ANGLE SENSOR
in G - TESTS W/CODES - 1.8L article.

SUMMARY
If no faults were found while performing F - BASIC TESTING,
proceed to G - TESTS W/ CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Section. If no hard codes are found in self-diagnostics, proceed to H
- TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for
diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO-START, etc.), or
intermittent diagnostic procedures.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC BOOSTERS (POWERMASTER)

IGNITION DISABLE SWITCHES
See SWITCHES.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FUNCTION TEST
NOTE: If vehicle speed decreases approximately 9 MPH below set
speed, set speed will be cancelled.
1) Cruise control switch is part of multifunction switch
mounted on steering column. To operate cruise control system, turn
ignition on. Turn cruise control switch to ON position. Ensure switch
indicator light comes on.
NOTE: Speed will not set beyond system limit of 90 MPH.
2) With cruise control switch in ON position, drive vehicle
between 25 and 90 MPH. Press and release SET button. Vehicle speed
should stay at set speed. Instrument cluster cruise indicator light
should come on. To increase set speed, turn control switch to RESUME
position and hold until new set speed is reached.
3) To lower set speed, press SET button and hold until new
set speed is reached. To return to set speed after cancellation, move
resume switch from ON to OFF position. Vehicle speed should return to
previous setting before cancellation. Set speed should cancel when any
of the following occurs:
* Brake pedal is pressed.
* Clutch pedal is pressed.
* Transmission is shifted to Neutral or Park.
* Cruise control main switch is turned off.
* Ignition switch is turned off.
SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
1) Self-diagnostics should be performed when cruise control
cancels without the driver using normal cancel modes. Diagnosis
connector is located on right side of fuse box. Use analog voltmeter
or Multi-Use Tester (MB991341) for code retrieval.
2) Use multi-use tester according to operating instructions
provided with tester. Connect leads of analog voltmeter between cruise
control terminal and ground terminal of self-diagnostic connector. See
Fig. 6 . Read voltmeter needle sweeps to determine trouble code.
NOTE: On 1991 models, codes No. 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 will be
displayed whether malfunction is present or not.
3) Once trouble codes have been displayed, see SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC CODE CHART to determine appropriate CIRCUIT TEST. See
Fig. 7 or 8.
4) To clear trouble codes, either disconnect battery cable or
turn ignition on. Turn main cruise control switch and set switch to ON
position. Within one second turn resume switch to ON position.
5) Hold stoplight switch and cruise control switch in ON
position for more than 5 seconds. Verify codes are cleared.
