CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The sensor check circuit detects abnormalities in the speed sensor signal which cannot be detected with
the DTC check. Connecting terminals Ts and E1 of the DLC1 in the engine compartment starts the check.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check voltage between terminals Ts and E1 of DLC1.
PREPARATION:
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Measure the voltage between terminals Ts and E1 of the
DLC1.
OK:
Voltage: 10 − 14 V
OK If ABS warning light does not blink even after Ts
and E1 are connected, ECU may be defective.

PRE−CHECK
1. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) Check the indicator.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(2) Check that the CRUISE MAIN indicator light comes
on when the cruise control main switch is pushed
ON, and that the indicator light goes off when the
main switch is pushed OFF.
HINT:
If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to trouble-
shooting (See page BE−2) for the combination meter
section.
(b) Check the DTC.
HINT:
If a malfunction occurs in the vehicle speed sensors or actuator,
etc. during cruise control driving, the ECU actuates AUTO CAN-
CEL of the cruise control and blinks the CRUISE MAIN indicator
light to inform the driver of a malfunction. At the same time, the
malfunction is stored in memory as a DTC.
(c) Output of DTC using diagnosis check wire.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(2) Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E
1 of DLC1.
SST 09843−18020
(3) Read the DTC on the CRUISE MAIN indicator light.
HINT:
If the DTC is not output, inspect the diagnosis circuit (See
page DI−374).
As an example, the blinking patterns for codes; normal,
11 and 21 are shown in the illustration.

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.)

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.

DTC 21 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vehicle speed sensor signal is sent to the cruise control ECU as the vehicle speed signal.
The rotor shaft in driven by the gear of the transaxle.
For each rotation of the shaft, the speed sensor sends a 4−pulse signal to the combination meter.
This signal is converted inside the combination meter and sent as a 4−pulse signal to the cruise control ECU.
The ECU calculates the vehicle speed from this pulse frequency.
