cruise control TOYOTA RAV4 1996 Service Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Cruise control system functions can be performed from cruise control switch, located on lever on right side of
steering column. Pressing cruise ON-OFF (main) switch at end of lever turns system on. CRUISE indicator
light in instrument cluster comes on when desired cruising speed is set. To set desired speed, move control lever
downward in SET/COAST direction and release it. Desired speed should be maintained. Press cruise ON-OFF
(main) switch again to turn cruise control system off.
Cancel set speed by moving cruise control lever in CANCEL direction, pressing brake pedal, or pressing clutch
pedal (M/T) or placing shift lever in Neutral (A/T). If vehicle speed drops to less than 25 MPH, set speed will
automatically cancel. If vehicle speed decreases 10 MPH less than set speed, set speed will also cancel. If cruise
control ECU detects a system malfunction, set speed will automatically cancel and CRUISE indicator light will
flash several times.
Moving cruise control lever in RES/ACC (resume/accelerate) direction allows vehicle to return to speed set
before cancellation. Holding cruise control lever in RES/ACC (resume/accelerate) direction gradually increases
vehicle speed. Holding cruise control lever in SET/COAST direction gradually decreases vehicle speed.
ACTUATOR
Actuator consists of a motor, safety magnetic clutch, position sensor, pulley and a cable connected to engine
throttle valve. When actuator receives a signal from cruise control ECU, it engages safety magnetic clutch and
activates motor. Motor causes pulley and cable to move, which will open or close engine throttle valve.
When motor rotates forward, pulley also rotates (via safety magnetic clutch, gears and drive shaft). A cable
connected to engine throttle valve and opens valve accordingly. When motor rotates in a reverse direction,
pulley and cable also rotate in a reverse direction and engine throttle valve closes.
CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH
ON-OFF (Main Switch)
Cruise ON-OFF switch is power switch for cruise control system. When ignition is turned off, cruise ON-OFF
switch is also turned off. The switch remains off even when ignition is turned on again.
SET/COAST Position
When cruise control switch is moved to SET/COAST position with cruise ON-OFF switch turned to ON
position and vehicle speed greater than 25 MPH, cruise control ECU stores vehicle speed and maintains that
speed via actuator.
When cruise control switch is moved to SET/COAST position while in cruise control mode, actuator motor is
energized to close engine throttle valve. Vehicle decelerates until switch is released. From then on, cruise
control ECU stores new vehicle speed and maintains that speed.

If cruise control operation is canceled by any canceling switch, vehicle set speed can be resumed and controlled
at the previously set speed by moving cruise control switch to RES/ACC (resume/accelerate) position. Set
speed, however, cannot be resumed if vehicle speed drops to less than 25 MPH, which clears cruise control
ECU set speed stored.
When cruise control switch is moved to RES/ACC (resume/accelerate) position while in cruise control mode,
actuator motor is energized to open engine throttle valve. Vehicle accelerates until switch is released. From then
on, cruise control ECU stores new vehicle speed and maintains that speed.
Cancel Position
When cruise control switch is moved to CANCEL position, a cancellation signal is sent to cruise control ECU
disabling cruise control operation. Previous vehicle set speed is stored in cruise control ECU memory.
CRUISE CONTROL ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU)
Cruise control Electronic Control Unit (ECU) constantly monitors and compares set speed with actual vehicle
speed from input sensors. When vehicle speed is greater than set speed, cruise control ECU activates actuator
motor to close engine throttle valve, reducing vehicle speed. When vehicle speed drops to less than set speed,
cruise control ECU activates actuator motor to open engine throttle valve, increasing vehicle speed.
Cruise control ECU includes a self-diagnostic function. If cruise control system is canceled by any condition
other than driver operation, cruise control ECU assumes a malfunction has occurred and may set a
corresponding trouble code.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
Vehicle speed sensor is mounted on transaxle. Vehicle speed sensor rotor shaft is driven by a gear on transaxle
output shaft. For each shaft rotation, vehicle speed sensor sends a 4-pulse signal to instrument cluster and cruise
control ECU. Cruise control ECU calculates vehicle speed from this pulse signal.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
When vehicle is in cruise control mode, system will cancel due to a malfunction in actuator, vehicle speed
sensor or other cruise circuit. When cruise control functions are canceled due to a malfunction, CRUISE
indicator light will blink, indicating a trouble code is stored in cruise control ECU memory. See DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS table under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
If a fault or symptom is present, but no trouble codes were set, a system function test can be performed. See
CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION TEST
under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
Before proceeding with cruise control system self-diagnostic system, ensure basic inspection of system
connectors and wiring harnesses has been performed. If no faults were found during basic inspection, proceed
with self-diagnostic system.
NOTE: Intermittent failures may cause CRUISE indicator light to flicker or come on.
Light will go out after fault goes away. Fault may or may not be present at time

ADJUSTMENTS
ACTUATOR CONTROL CABLE
Ensure actuator, control cable and throttle linkage are installed properly. Ensure actuator and bell crank operate
smoothly. Ensure cable is not too loose or tight. Cable free play should be less than .39" (10 mm). If control
cable is too loose, vehicle will lose speed while driving uphill. If control cable is too tight, idle RPM will
increase.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION TEST
Cruise control function test is used to help determine if cruise control circuits are functioning properly when no
trouble codes are present. To activate function test, turn ignition on. Push cruise control switch to SET/COAST
position and hold. Set cruise ON-OFF (main) switch to ON position. Ensure CRUISE indicator light comes on
and flashes after 3 seconds. Release cruise control switch from SET/COAST position. Activate each switch
circuit in order given. Normal function code will be displayed by CRUISE indicator light, as each circuit is
activated as follows:
SET/COAST Switch
Set cruise control switch to SET/COAST position and hold. If CRUISE control indicator light flashes 2 times
(repeating), indicating a normal Function Code 2, set/coast circuit is okay. Go to next step. If CRUISE control
indicator light does not flash 2 times (repeating), see SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
and perform appropriate test
(s).
RES/ACC Switch
Set cruise control switch to RES/ACC position and hold. If CRUISE control indicator light flashes 3 times
(repeating), indicating a normal Function Code 3, RES/ACCEL circuit is okay. Go to next step. If CRUISE
control indicator light does not flash 3 times (repeating), see SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
and perform
appropriate test(s).
CANCEL Switches
Observe CRUISE control indicator light and activate each cancel switch. Press CANCEL switch to ON and
OFF positions. Depress and release brake pedal. On A/T models, move shift lever from "D" to "N" position. On of testing. However, a corresponding trouble code may be stored in cruise
