Cruise Control

Cruise control is integrated into the ECM because of the MDK operation.

Cruise control functions are activated directly by the multifunction steering wheel to the ECM. The individual buttons are digitally encoded in the MFL switch and is input to the ECM over a serial data wire.

The ECM controls vehicle speed by activation of the Motor Driven Throttle Valve (MDK) The clutch switch disengages cruise control to prevent over-rev during gear changes.

The brake light switch and the brake light test switch are input to the ECM to disengage cruise control as well as fault recognition during engine operation of the MDK.

Road speed is input to the ECM for cruise control as well as ASC/MSR regulation. The vehicle speed signal for normal engine operation is supplied from the ABS module (right rear wheel speed sensor). The road speed signal for cruise control is supplied from the ABS module. This is an average taken from both front wheel speed sensors, supplied via the CAN bus.
