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.)

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC 11, 14 Actuator Motor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The actuator motor is operated by signals from the ECU. Acceleration and deceleration signals are trans-
mitted by changes in the Duty Ratio (See note below).
Duty Ratio:
The duty ratio is the ratio of the period of continuity in one cycle. For example, if A is the period of continuity
in one cycle, and B is the period of non−continuity, then.

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.
Moving directionTerminal No. to connect
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.
