Idle Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the idle switch is turned ON, a signal is sent to the ECU. The ECU uses this signal to correct the dis-
crepancy between the throttle valve position and the actuator position sensor value to enable accurate
cruise control at the set speed. If the idle switch is malfunctioning, problem symptoms also occur in the en-
gine, so also inspect the engine.

(a) Remove cruise control ECU with connectors still con-
nected.
(b) Disconnect ECM and ABS & TRAC ECU connector.
CHECK:
(a) Turn ignition switch ON.
(b) Measure voltage between terminal IDL of ECU connector
and body ground, when the throttle valve is fully closed
and fully opened.

tion sensor connector, when the throttle valve is fully closed and
fully opened.
OK:

Electronically Controlled Transaxle Communication Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When driving uphill under cruise control, in order to reduce shifting due to ON−OFF overdrive operation and
to provide smooth driving, when down shifting in the electronically controlled transaxle occurs, a signal to
prevent upshift until the end of the uphill slope is sent from the cruise control ECU to the electronically con-
trolled transaxle.
Terminal ECM of the cruise control ECU detects the shift change signal (output to electronically controlled
transaxle No.2 solenoid) from the electronically controlled transaxle.
If vehicle speed down, also when terminal electronically controlled transaxle of the cruise control ECU re-
ceive down shifting signal, it sends a signal from terminal OD to OD1 to cut overdrive until the end of the
uphill slope, and the gear shifts are reduced and gear shift points in the electronically controlled transaxle
are changed.

Park/Neutral Position Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the shift position is put in except D position, a signal is sent from the park/neutral position switch to
the ECU. When this signal is input during cruise control driving, the ECU cancels the cruise control.
