Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Pre-inspectionA: FUNCTION TESTS
Conduct road tests by selecting a smooth, flat road or use free rollers for road test simulation.
1. CRUISE CONTROL MAIN SWITCH
1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
2. Check that cruise control main switch indicator light comes on when main switch is pressed (ON).
3. Check that main switch indicator light goes out when main switch is pressed again (OFF).
4. Turn ignition switch to OFF with main switch ON (indicated by illumination). Turn ignition switch ON again to ensure that main switch indicator light remains OFF.
2. CRUISE CONTROL COMMAND SWITCH
1. Check that cruise control command switch is properly set in "SET/COAST", "RESUME/ACCEL", or "CANCEL" mode.
2. Also check that command switch returns to the original position when released.
3. CONSTANT SPEED TEST
1. Turn cruise control main switch to ON.
2. Drive the vehicle at a speed greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
3. Press command switch to set in "SET/COAST" mode.
4. Ensure that vehicle is maintained at the speed set when command switch was pressed.
4. ACCELERATION TEST
1. Set vehicle speed at a speed greater that 40 km/h (25 MPH).
2. Ensure that vehicle continues to accelerate while holding command switch in "RESUME/ACCEL" mode, and that vehicle maintains that optional speed when command switch is released.
5. DECELERATION TEST
1. Set vehicle speed at an optional speed greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
2. Ensure that vehicle continues to decelerate while holding command switch in "SET/COAST" mode, and that it maintains that optional speed when command switch is released.
NOTE: When vehicle speed reaches the lower speed limit of 30 km/h (19 MPH) during deceleration, cruise control will be released.

C: VACUUM HOSE
2C1 : CHECK VACUUM HOSE VISUALLY.
Check vacuum hose (which connects actuator and intake manifold).
CHECK: Is there disconnection or cracks in vacuum hose?
YES: Replace vacuum hose. Go to step 2D1.
NO: Go to step 2D1.
D: ACTUATOR
2D1: CHECK FUNCTION OF ACTUATOR.
1. Disconnect vacuum hose from actuator.
2. Connect vacuum pump as shown in figure.
3. Make sure that cruise control cable moves smoothly and quickly when a vacuum pressure of 40.0 kPa (300 mmHg, 11.81 inHg) is applied to actuator.
CHECK: Does cruise control cable have a stroke of 35 mm (1.38 in)?
YES: Go to step 2D2.
NO: Replace actuator. Go to step 2D2.
NOTE:
- When vacuum pressure is released from condition 3) above, make sure the cable returns to its original position smoothly and quickly.
- After inspection, disconnect vacuum pump and connect vacuum hose.
2D2: MEASURE RESISTANCE OF VALVE.
1. Disconnect connector from actuator.
2. Measure resistance between terminals of actuator.
CHECK: Is resistance less than 100 Ohm?
YES: Go to step 2D3.
NO: Replace actuator.
2D3: MEASURE RESISTANCE OF VALVE.
Measure resistance between terminals of actuator.
CHECK: Is resistance less than 69 Ohm?
YES: Go to step 2D4.
NO: Replace actuator.
2D4: MEASURE RESISTANCE OF VALVE.
Measure resistance between terminals of actuator.
CHECK: Is resistance less than 69 Ohm?
YES: Go to step 2D5.
NO: Replace actuator.
2D5: CHECK FOR LEAKAGE AND STICKING OF VALVES.
1. Disconnect connector from actuator.
2. Make sure that cruise control cable moves smoothly when connecting + (positive) battery cable to terminal No.2 and - (negative) battery cable to terminals No.1, 3 and 4 of actuator connector.
CHECK: Does cruise control cable have a stroke of 35 mm (1.38 in) within 3 seconds?
YES: Go to step 2D6.
NO: Replace actuator. Go to step 2D6.
2D6: CHECK FOR LEAKAGE AND STICKING OF VALVES.
When the battery cable is disconnected from former condition Step 2., make sure the cable returns to its original position smoothly.
CHECK: Does cruise control cable get back to its original position within 1.5 seconds?
YES: Go to step 2D7.
NO: Replace actuator. Go to step 2D7.
