Cruise Control Systems - 3.2CL

DESCRIPTION

WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service operation. See
appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. DO NOT apply
electrical power to any component on steering column without first
deactivating air bag system. Air bag may deploy.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting battery, obtain anti-theft code for radio. After battery
is reconnected, the word CODE will appear on radio display. Enter 5-digit
anti-theft code using select buttons and radio will begin working. If code is
entered incorrectly 10 times, leave radio on at least one hour and enter
code correctly. Any time radio power is lost, pre-selected radio stations
will have to be set.

Cruise control unit receives command signals from cruise control main switch and SET/RESUME/CANCEL
switch. Vehicle operating signals are also received from brake switch, Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), and A/T
gear position switch. Cruise control unit sends control signals to cruise control actuator, which regulates throttle
position to maintain selected vehicle speed. See Fig. 1 -Fig. 2 .

Cruise control unit compares actual vehicle speed to selected speed. Cruise control unit will open or close
throttle to change and maintain vehicle speed. When cruise control unit receives a disengage signal, cruise
control actuator will allow throttle to close. A signal from brake switch disengages system when brakes are
applied. A/T gear position switch or cancel switch can also send disengage signals to cruise control unit.

OPERATION
Cruise control system maintains any set speed greater than 25 MPH. To set speed, press cruise control main
switch to ON position and press SET switch when vehicle reaches desired speed. Cruise indicator light will
come on. Pressing cancel switch and cruise control main switch to OFF position will cancel cruise control
system operation and erase vehicle speed from memory.

If system is disengaged temporarily by brake switch or A/T gear position switch, pressing RESUME switch will
return vehicle to set speed. When RESUME switch is pressed and set speed is retained in memory, vehicle will
return to previously set speed.

Pressing and holding RESUME switch will gradually increase vehicle speed without having to press accelerator
pedal. When RESUME switch is released, system is reprogrammed for new speed.

For gradual deceleration without pressing brake pedal, press and hold SET switch until desired speed is reached.
When desired speed is reached, release SET switch.

ADJUSTMENTS
ACTUATOR CABLE

1. Ensure actuator cable operates smoothly without binding or sticking. Put transmission in Neutral or Park.
Start engine. Hold engine speed to 3000 RPM with no load until radiator cooling fan operates. Allow
engine to idle.
2. Rotate output linkage until engine speed begins to increase. Measure output linkage free play from
throttle fully closed position to engine speed increase position. See Fig. 3 . Free play should be 0.13-
0.17" (3.3-4.3 mm). If free play is not as specified, go to next step.
3. Loosen lock nut and adjusting nut. Move actuator cable until engine speed begins to increase. Tighten
lock nut and adjusting nut. Loosen adjusting nut until it is 0.13-0.17" (3.3-4.3 mm) from bracket. Pull
actuator cable until adjusting nut contacts bracket and tighten lock nut. Recheck actuator cable
adjustment.

A/T GEAR POSITION SWITCH

1. Ensure parking brake is applied. Place A/T gear position switch in Neutral position. See Fig. 4 . Place
transaxle control shaft in Neutral. Remove lock nut and washer on A/T gear position switch. Loosen A/T
gear position switch bolts. Install NEW lock washer on A/T gear position switch, aligning projected tip
with neutral mark on switch. Install lock nut and tighten while holding control shaft. Bend lock tabs
against lock nut. See Fig. 4 .
2. Tighten A/T gear position switch bolts. Connect electrical connector to A/T gear position switch. Check
A/T gear position switch for synchronization with indicator. If A/T gear position switch is not
synchronized with indicator, loosen bolts and readjust. After adjustment, start engine and verify proper
operation. Ensure shift lever cannot be moved from "N" to "R" position without pressing button. Ensure
engine will only start in "N" or "P" position. Back-up lights come on in "R" position.

specified, go to next step. If actuator does not operate as specified, replace actuator.
3. With fused jumper wire still connected to positive battery voltage at terminal No. 2 (Brown wire) and
negative battery lead to terminal No. 1 (Black wire) of cruise control actuator Gray 4-pin harness
connector; apply positive battery voltage to terminal No. 4 (Brown/White wire) and negative battery lead
to terminal No. 3 (Brown/Black wire) of cruise control actuator Gray 4-pin harness connector. When
output linkage is in fully closed and middle positions, actuator motor should operate. Actuator motor
should stop operating in fully opened position. If actuator motor operates as specified, go to next step. If
actuator motor does not operate as specified, replace actuator.
4. Using a fused jumper wire, connect positive battery voltage to terminal No. 3 (Brown/Black wire) and
connect negative battery lead to terminal No. 4 (Brown/White wire) of cruise control actuator Gray 4-pin

SET/RESUME/CANCEL SWITCH TEST

1. Disable air bag system. See appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Remove steering
column covers. Disconnect 4-pin harness connector from cable reel. See Fig. 11 .
2. With SET button in ON position, continuity should exist between cable reel terminals B2 and B4. With
RESUME button in ON position, continuity should exist between cable reel 4-pin connector terminals B2
and B3. With CANCEL button in ON position, check for continuity by probing cable reel 4-pin harness
connector terminal B2 with positive terminal of DVOM, and terminals B3 and B4 with negative terminal
of DVOM. If continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, go to step 5 .
3. Remove instrument panel lower cover and knee bolster. Disconnect cruise control unit 14-pin harness
connector. Using DVOM, check for continuity in Light Green/Black wire between terminal B3 of cable
reel 4-pin harness connector and terminal No. 7 of cruise control unit 14-pin harness connector. Also
check for continuity in Light Green/Red wire between terminal B4 of SET/RESUME/CANCEL switch 4-
pin harness connector and terminal No. 6 of cruise control unit 14-pin harness connector. If continuity
exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist, repair open in Light Green/Black or Light Green/Red
wire between 4-pin cable reel harness connector and 14-pin cruise control unit harness connector.
4. Measure voltage between ground and terminal B2 (Light Green/Blue wire) of cable reel 4-pin harness
connector. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, Measure voltage
between fuse No. 47 (20-amp), horn relay and terminal A11 of underhood fuse/relay box. If battery
voltage does not exist, repair open in underhood fuse/relay box between fuse No. 47 (20-amp), horn relay
and terminal A11. If battery voltage exists, repair open in Light Green/Blue wire between terminal B2 of
cable reel and terminal A11 of underhood fuse/relay box. See Fig. 11 .
5. Remove SET/RESUME/CANCEL switch. See SET/RESUME/CANCEL SWITCH under REMOVAL
& INSTALLATION. With SET button in ON position, continuity should exist between
SET/RESUME/CANCEL switch connector terminals No. 1 and 3. See Fig. 11 . With RESUME button in
ON position, continuity should exist between SET/RESUME/CANCEL switch connector terminals No. 1
and 2. With CANCEL button in ON position, continuity should exist between terminals No. 1 and 2, and
between terminals No. 1 and 3. If continuity is as specified, reassemble all switches and connectors and
