1. Supplemental Restraint System
“Airbag”
Airbag system wiring harness is routed near the cruise
control command switch.
CAUTION:
All Airbag system wiring harness and connectors
are colored yellow. Do not use electrical test equip-
ment on these circuits.
Be careful not to damage Airbag system wiring har-
ness when servicing the cruise control command
switch.

2. Pre-inspection
1. CRUISE CONTROL CABLE
1) Cable installation
(1) Ensure that cruise control cable is attached to the left
of accelerator cable (on accelerator pedal side).
(2) Ensure that accelerator cable throttle cam does not
move when cruise control throttle cam is moved by hand.
(3) Ensure that throttle cam moves smoothly.
2) Cable free play
(1) Ensure that throttle cam-to-lever clearance is within
specifications.
Standard value: 1
0

0.04in)
NOTE:
If clearance is not within specifications, adjust cable at its
outer end.
(2) Ensure that cap is positioned in groove.

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.
