STEP IS NOT DONE A DIAGONSTIC TROUBLE
CODE (DTC) MAY BE SET.
VACUUM RESERVOIR
The reservoir contains a one-way check valve to
trap engine vacuum in the reservoir. When engine
vacuum drops, as in climbing a grade while driving,
the reservoir supplies the vacuum needed to main-
tain proper speed control operation. The vacuum res-
ervoir cannot be repaired and must be replaced if
faulty.
VEHICLE SPEED AND DISTANCE
The 4 speed automatic Transmission Control Mod-
ule (TCM) supplies the speed input to the PCM. The
PCM determines acceleration rates. The speed con-
trol software in the PCM uses vehicle speed and
acceleration to control to the set speed.
Vehicles with a 3 speed automatic or manual trans-
mission have a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) mounted
to an adapter near the transmission output shaft.
The sensor is driven through the adapter by a speed-
ometer pinion gear. The VSS pulse signal is moni-
tored by the PCM to determine vehicle speed and to
maintain speed control set speed. Refer to the appro-
priate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual for
diagnosis and testing of this component. Refer to
group 14, Fuel System for Removal/Installation
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ROAD TEST
Perform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
speed control system malfunction. The road test
should include attention to the speedometer. Speed-
ometer operation should be smooth and without flut-
ter at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys-
tem. The cause of any speedometer problems should
be corrected before proceeding. Refer to Group 8E,
Instrument Panel and Gauges for speedometer diag-
nosis.
If a road test verifies a surge following a set and
the speedometer operates properly see ªOvershoot/
Undershoot on speed control setº.
If a road test verifies an inoperative system, and
the speedometer operates properly, check for:
²A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTC
exists, conduct tests per the Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures service manual.
²A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. This
could also cause an intermittent problem.
²Loose or corroded electrical connections at the
servo. Corrosion should be removed from electricalterminals and a light coating of Mopar Multipurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
²Leaking vacuum reservoir.
²Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
²Defective one-way vacuum check valve.
²Secure attachment at both ends of the speed
control servo cable.
²Smooth operation of throttle linkage and throttle
body air valve.
²Conduct electrical test at PCM.
²Failed speed control servo. Do the servo vacuum
test.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.
OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED
CONTROL SET
If the operator repeatedly presses and releases the
set button with their foot off of the accelerator (a ªlift
foot setº to begin speed control operation), the vehicle
may accelerate and exceed the desired set speed by
up to 5 MPH (8 km/h) and then decelerate to less
than the desired set speed before finally achieving
the desired set speed.
The Speed Control has an adaptive strategy that
compensates for vehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths. When the speed control is set
with the vehicle operators foot off of the accelerator
pedal, the speed control thinks there is excessive
speed control cable slack and adapts. If the lift foot
sets are continually used, the speed control over-
shoot/undershoot condition will develop.
To ªunlearnº the overshoot/undershoot condition,
the vehicle operator has to press and release the set
button while maintaining the desired set speed with
the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerat-
ing), and then turn the cruise control switch to the
OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if
equipped) after waiting 10 seconds. This procedure
must be performed approximately 10±15 times to
completely unlearn the overshoot/undershoot condi-
tion.
CHECKING FOR DIAGNOSTIC CODES
When trying to verify a speed control system elec-
tronic malfunction: Connect a DRB scan tool if avail-
able to the data link connector. The connector is
located at left side of the steering column, and at
lower edge of the panel.
(1) A speed control malfunction may occur without
a diagnostic code being indicated.
NSVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM 8H - 3
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

Refer to Group 25, for further information and use-
age of the DRB scan tool and a more complete list of
Diagnostic Trouble Code.
SPEED CONTROL SLOWS DOWN BY ITSELF
Test vehicle speed sensor, refer to group 8E. If sen-
sor fails replace sensor, if it passes perform the fol-
lowing test:
(1) Perform the speed control switch test on the
DECEL switch, if it fails replace switch.
(2) If the switch passes, conduct the vacuum sup-
ply test.
(3) If it passes, conduct the servo vacuum test. If it
fails replace servo.
(4) If continuity, replace the PCM.
SPEED CONTROL ELECTRICAL TEST
Electronic speed control systems may be tested
using two different methods. One involves use of a
DRB. If this test method is desired, refer to the Pow-
ertrain Diagnostic Test Procedures for charging and
speed control system manual.The other test method uses a volt/ohm meter. The
volt/ohm meter method is described in the following
tests.
If any information is needed concerning wiring,
refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals, or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.
When electrical connections are removed, corrosion
should be removed from electrical terminals and a
light coating of Mopar Multi-Purpose Grease, or
equivalent, applied. Inspect connectors for damage
terminals.
A poor connection can cause a complete or inter-
mittent malfunction and is also the only connection
in the circuit, that can not be tested. For this reason,
a loose connection may be misdiagnosed as a compo-
nent malfunction.
