partment when showering vehicle?
: Replace faulty airbag component parts.
: Go to step7.
NOTE:
If leaks are noted, check wiring harnesses as water may
leak along them and get parts wet.
7. WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATION CHECK
Turn ignition switch“ON”(engine off) and observe airbag
warning light.
: Does the airbag warning light comes on for
8 seconds, then go out and stay out?
: Clear memory.

2. VACUUM HOSE AND PIPE
Check vacuum hose and pipe (which connects actuator
and vacuum pump) for disconnection or cracks.
B6M0270A
3. ACTUATOR
1) Disconnect vacuum hose from actuator.
B6M0174
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.
Stroke: 35 mm (1.38 in)
4) When vacuum pressure is released from condition 3)
above, make sure the cable returns to its original position
smoothly and quickly.
5) After inspection, disconnect vacuum pump and connect
vacuum hose.
4. POWER SUPPLY
1) Measure battery voltage and specific gravity of electro-
lyte.
Standard voltage: 12 V
Specific gravity: Above 1.260
2) Check the condition of the main and other fuses, and
harnesses and connectors. Also check for proper ground-
ing.

2. CRUISE CANCEL CONDITIONS DIAGNOSIS
1) Connect select monitor.
2) Start the engine and turn cruise control main switch to
ON.
3) Set select monitor in“FB0”mode.
4) Drive vehicle at least 40 km/h (25 MPH) with cruise
speed set.
5) If cruise speed is canceled itself (without doing any
cancel operations), a trouble code will appear on select
monitor display.
CAUTION:
A trouble code will also appear when cruise cancel
is effected by driver. Do not confuse.
Have a co-worker ride in vehicle to assist in diagno-
sis during driving.
NOTE:
Trouble code will be cleared by turning ignition switch or
cruise control main switch to OFF.
3. REAL-TIME DIAGNOSIS
1) Connect select monitor.
2) Turn ignition switch and cruise control main switch to
ON.
3) Set select monitor in“FA 0”mode.
4) Ensure that normal indication is displayed when con-
trols are operated as indicated below:
When SET/COAST switch is pressed.
When RESUME/ACCEL switch is pressed.
When brake pedal is depressed. (Stop and brake switch
turns ON.)
When clutch pedal is depressed. (MT model)
When select lever is set to N position. (AT model)

C: CHECK CRUISE CONTROL MAIN SWITCH
DIAGNOSIS:
Faulty cruise control main switch, or open harness.
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Cruise control main switch is not turned ON and cruise
control cannot be set.
NOTE:
When the main relay (built-in cruise control module)
operates, the main switch circuit is in normal condition.
The main relay operation can be checked by hearing the
operation sounds.
This operation sounds will be heard when ignition switch
and cruise control main switch is turned to ON.
1. Check fuse and power supply.
OK
Not OK
Melted fuse,repair the shorted part of the circuit.
,replace fuse.
2. Check cruise control main switch.
OK
Not OK
Open harness,repair faulty main switch.,
replace.
3. Check harness connector between cruise
control main switch and cruise control
module.
OK
Not OK
Repair or replace wiring harness.
Failure of the cruise control module.
