Cruise Control System (CCS) Switch -E45-, Testing







Special tools and workshop equipment required:

- V.A.G 1526 A Multimeter.
- V.A.G 1594 A Connector test kit.
- V.A.G 1598/31 Test box.
- VAS 5051.
- VAS 5051/1 Adapter.

The cruise control system (CCS) has no components of its own (except for the operating switch -E45-). All cruise control functions are carried out by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
