CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
43
Either of the following 1 or 2 is detected:
1. After the battery terminal is connected, input from the decel-
eration sensor does not charge at one cycle (0 km/h →
more than 30 km/h → 0 km/h) for 16 times continuously
2. When the brake pedal is not depressed at vehicle speed of
5 km/h or more, forward and backward G (more than 0.4 G)
is detected for 30 sec. or more

*45
At vehicle speed of 30 km/h or more, the deceleration sensor
output and vehicle acceleration from wheel speed remain ab-
normally different for 60 sec. or moreDeceleration sensor

HINT:
When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest numbered code will be displayed first.
If the inspection ”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 check.
If the trouble still reappears even though there are no abnormalities in any of the other circuits, then
check or replace the cruise control ECU as the last step.
(*) When the vehicle speed decrease on uphill roads, the speed can be set again and driving continued. (This
is not a malfunction.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check actuator motor.
PREPARATION:
(a) Remove cruise control actuator.
(b) Disconnect actuator connector.
CHECK:
(a) Connect positive + lead to terminal 5 and negative − lead
to terminal 4 of actuator connector (Magnetic clutch ON).
NOTICE:
Do not connect the high tension cables to the wrong bat-
tery terminal.
You will damage the cruise control actuator.
(b) When battery positive voltage is applied to each terminal
of actuator connector, check that the control plate moves
smoothly without hesitating.

Acceleration sidePositive + − 6Negative − − 7
Deceleration sidePositive + − 7Negative − − 6
(c) With the motor rotating as in 2., check that the motor is
stopped by limit switches when the control plate moves to
fully opened or fully closed position.
NG Replace actuator assembly.
OK
2 Check harness and connector between cruise control ECU and actuator motor
(See page IN−30).
NG Repair or replace harness or connector.
OK
Proceed to next circuit inspection shown on matrix chart (See page DI−336).
However, when DTC 11, 14 is displayed, check and replace cruise control ECU.
