CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM TESTS
(ELECTRIC ACTUATOR)
Use BMW Service Test 2013 to check function of system
as follows:
Program: Enter M (Multimeter)
Enter 13 (Frequency out)
Enter 110 (Hz)
Press
Enter 02 (U. AC.)
Press
1. Detach the differential reed switch plug and attach frequency
out (+) to brown/red wire and frequency out (-) to brown
wire.
2. Turn on ignition.
3. Speedometer should show approximately 50 mph.
4. Engage cruise control and monitor the actuator. (It should
pull the throttle open.)
5. If cruise control does not engage, check for A.C. voltage on
E.C.U. plug terminal #6. (It should be approximately 4.0
volts.)
6. Check plug connections on back of instrument cluster.
7. If system is still inactive, perform the following tests:
Test at ECU Plug
Component/Circuit
Result
1. Ignition on—check volt-
age at Terminal #1.
Power supply
12 Volts. If not, check
wiring and fuse.
2. Ignition on—check volt-
age at Terminal #2.
Control switch OFF
Move lever to OFF. Voltage
drops from 12V to 0V. If
not, check wiring and
switch.
3. Ignition on—check volt-
age at Terminal #4.
Control switch CONST.
Move lever to CONST.
Voltage jumps 0 to 12V.
If not, check wiring and
switch.

Result
4. Ignition on—check volt-
age at Terminal #5.
Control switch RESUME.
Move lever to RESUME.
Voltage jumps 0 to 12V.
If not, check wiring and
switch.
5. Measure resistance Term-
inal #3 to ground. (Auto
transmission in neutral.)
(Ignition off.)
A.) Automatic Trans-
mission
B.) Manual Trans-
mission
A.) Approximately 4
B.) < 1
6. Apply voltage to term.
#8 and ground term. #9.
Actuator solenoid
(Clutch)
Listen for click in actuator
7. Measure resistance
Terminal #8 to ground.
Actuator and clutch
switch.
Resistance approx. 30
Press clutch pedal, then
resistance = oo
If not, check wiring, clutch
switch, and brake lights.
8. Apply voltage to term.
#13 and ground term. #25.
Actuator motor
Listen for motor running.
9. Measure resistance
Terminal #24 to Terminal
#23.
Actuator potentiometer.
Resistance approx. 3000
If not, check wiring/
replace actuator.
10. Measure resistance
Terminal #23 to ground.
Ground
Resistance = 0
If not, check wiring and
ground.
11. Measure resistance
Terminal #26 to ground.
Actuator.
Resistance approx. 3000
If not, check wiring/
replace actuator.
12. Measure voltage at
term. #9 (Ignition on)
Brake light switch
0 Volts then depress brake
pedal voltage = 12V.

TEST AT ECU PLUG
COMPONENT/CIRCUIT
RESULT
1.
Measure
resistance
across term. 1-12
push car min. 2 feet
Reed switch in differen-
tial
and
wiring.
Resistance changes 0 to oo
to 0, etc. If not, check
wiring and switch.
2. Ignition on. Check
voltage at term. 5.
Power supply.
Voltage - 12V. If not, check
wiring.
3. Start car. Jumper
term. 5-3 and then
12-7 momentarily.
Servo
Servo should activate and raise
engine speed. If not, check
wiring and Servo.
4a. Ignition on (not
running). Check
voltage at term. 6.
b. Ignition off. Check
resistance terminal 6
to ground.
System disconnect
circuit.
Adaptor ground.
No voltage. Push brake pedal
then voltage = 12V, or trans.
to 'N' and voltage = 12V. If
not, check wiring, switches,
and adaptor.
Reading approx. 20 to 150
Now reverse leads and reading
must remain between 20 and
150. If reading is at oo
with either hook up check
adaptor grounding or replace
adaptor.
5. Ignition on. Check
voltage at term. 8.
Control switch OFF.
Move lever to OFF. Voltage
drops from 12 -> 0 volts. If
not, check wiring and switch.
6. Ignition on. Check
voltage at term. 9.
Control switch CONST.
Move lever to CONST. Voltage
jumps 0 to 12 volts. If not,
check wiring and switch.
7. Ignition on. Check
voltage at term. 10.
Control switch RESUME
Move lever to RESUME. Voltage
jumps 0 to 12 volts. If not,
check wiring and switch.
If these electrical tests are OK, then change the control unit if the system does not
operate correctly.
