Cruise Control Module: Description and Operation

The following components are contained in the cruise control module:
^ An electric controller
^ An electric stepper motor

The controller performs the following functions:
^ Monitors the vehicle speed
^ Operates the electric motor

In response to the controller, the motor moves a connecting strap that attaches to the cruise control cable. The cable moves the throttle linkage in order to vary the throttle position in order to maintain the desired cruise speed. The cruise control module contains a low speed limit which prevents the system engagement below a minimum speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). The module is controlled by switches located on the multifunction lever. The cruise control is in the standby disabled mode until all of the conditions that are inconsistent with the cruise control operation are cleared.

The cruise control module is mounted on the cowl. The module is not serviceable.
