PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
If a normal code is displayed during the DTC check but the trouble still occurs (reappears), troubleshoot for
each problem symptom, checking the circuits for each symptom in the order given in the table below. Pro-
ceed to the page indicated for each circuit.
HINT:
If the instruction ”Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix chart” is given in the flow chart
for each circuit, proceed to the circuit with the next highest number in the table to continue the check.
If the trouble still reappears even through there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, then
check or replace the cruise control ECU as the last step.

DTC 12 Actuator Magnetic Clutch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This circuit turns on the magnetic clutch inside the actuator during cruise control operation according to the
signal from the ECU. If a malfunction occurs in the actuator or vehicle speed sensor, etc. during cruise con-
trol, the rotor shaft between the motor and control plate is released.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch turns on, supplying electrical power to the stop light.
Power supply to the magnetic clutch is mechanically cut and the magnetic clutch is turned OFF.
When driving downhill, if the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by 15 km/h (9 mph), the ECU turns the
magnetic clutch OFF. If the vehicle speed later drops to within 10 km/h (6 mph) above the set speed, then
cruise control at the set speed is resumed.

Stop Light Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the brake is on, battery positive voltage normally applies through the stop fuse and stop light switch
to terminal STP− of the ECU, and the ECU turns the cruise control off.
A fail−safe function is provided so that cancel functions normally, even if there is a malfunction in the stop
light signal circuit.
If the harness connected to terminal STP− has an open, terminal STP− will have battery positive voltage and
the cruise control will be turned off, also SET not occurring.
Also, when the brake is on, the magnetic clutch is cut electrically by the stop light switch, turning the cruise
control off. (See page DI−338 for operation of the magnetic clutch)
