this information to control solenoids on transmission valve body. TCM
controls transmission shifting and torque converter lock-up.
TCM contains a self-diagnostic system, which will store
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) if failure or problem exists in
electronic control system. DTC can be retrieved to determine problem
area. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. TCM is located under left side of
instrument panel, left of steering column. See Fig. 1.
TCM INPUT DEVICES
Brakelight Switch Signal
Brakelight switch delivers input signal to TCM, indicating
vehicle braking. Brakelight switch is located on brake pedal support.
Cruise Control Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
Cruise control ECU delivers an input signal to control
overdrive operation in accordance with vehicle speed when cruise
control is operating. When in overdrive with cruise control on, if
vehicle speed drops 2 MPH less than the set speed, overdrive is
released to prevent reduction in vehicle speed. Once vehicle speed is
more than the set speed, overdrive function is resumed. If coolant
temperature is low, transmission will not shift into overdrive. Cruise
control ECU is located below center A/C vent, behind temperature
control panel on Montero. On Montero Sport, cruise control ECU is
located behind driver's kick panel.
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT) Signal
Engine coolant temperature sensor delivers input signal to
TCM, indicating engine coolant temperature. Coolant temperature sensor
is located on engine.
Input & Output Shaft Speed Sensors
Sensors are magnetic pick-ups that monitor input and output
shaft speeds. AC waveforms are input to TCM by sensors. Sensors are
located on front and rear side of transmission case.
OD Switch Signal
The OD switch provides an input signal to TCM to indicate
when overdrive is selected by operator. When OD switch is depressed to
ON position, transmission will shift into 4th gear when shift lever is
in "D" position, and OD OFF light on instrument panel will go off.
When OD switch is released to OFF position, transmission will shift
into 3rd gear, and OD OFF light on instrument panel will come on. The
OD switch is mounted on shift lever.
Oil Temperature Sensor Signal
Oil temperature sensor provides TCM with ATF temperature
values. TCM uses this information to control shift points for maximum
performance. If transmission oil temperature exceeds standard values,
instrument panel ATF - TEMP light will come on. Sensor is mounted to
cooler line at transmission.
Park/Neutral Position (PNP) Switch Signal
PNP switch delivers an input signal to TCM indicating shift
lever position. Switch is located on side of transmission.
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Signal
TP sensor delivers closed throttle and variable throttle
position input signals to TCM. TP sensor is located on side of
throttle body.
4WD Low Range Detection Switch
4WD low range detection switch provides information to TCM

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
WARNING: Deactivate air bag system before performing any service
operation. See AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS article. Do not
apply electrical power to any component on steering column
without first deactivating air bag system. Air bag may
deploy.
Cruise control system is electronically and vacuum
controlled. System components include a control unit, actuator, vacuum
pump, cruise control switch, clutch pedal position switch (M/T),
cruise indicator light, diode, Park/Neutral (P/N) switch (A/T),
stoplight switch, vehicle speed sensor and A/T control unit (if
equipped).
System has self-diagnostic capability. When self-diagnostic
mode is activated, each switch and sensor is checked for defects. When
cruise control system has been canceled without using a normal cancel
method, a trouble code will be set and stored in control unit. Trouble
codes can be retrieved to help determine which circuit is
malfunctioning.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Page 299 of 1501
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
NOTE: For further trouble shooting information, see INPUT
INSPECTION CHART. See Fig. 3. See
INSPECTION CHART FOR TROUBLE SYMPTOMS table under SYMPTOM
TESTS.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Inspect vacuum pump, linkage assembly, actuator, cables and
vacuum hoses. Ensure linkage and cables move smoothly. Ensure cables
do not have excessive slack or tension.
CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FUNCTION TEST
NOTE: If vehicle speed decreases about 9 MPH less than the set
speed, set speed will be canceled. Speed will not set beyond
system limit of 124 MPH.
1) Cruise control switch is part of multifunction switch
mounted on steering column. To operate cruise control system, turn
ignition on. Turn cruise control switch to ON position. Ensure switch
indicator light comes on.
2) With cruise control switch in ON position, drive vehicle
at least 25 MPH. Press and release SET button. Vehicle speed should
stay at set speed. Instrument cluster cruise indicator light should
come on. To increase set speed, turn control switch to RESUME position
and hold until new set speed is reached.
3) To lower set speed, press SET button and hold until new
set speed is reached. To return to set speed after cancellation, move
resume switch to ON position. Vehicle speed should return to previous
setting before cancellation. Set speed should cancel when any of the
following occurs:
* Brake pedal is depressed.
* Cruise control main switch is turned to OFF position.
* Ignition switch is turned to OFF position.
* Transmission is shifted to Neutral.
SYSTEM CANCELS OR WILL NOT RESET AFTER CANCELLATION
1) Check for trouble codes. See RETRIEVING CODES under SELF-
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If no trouble codes are stored, ensure cruise
control can be set.
2) If cruise control can be set, system may have canceled due
to driving on steep hills, or a loose wiring connection. If cruise
control still cannot be set, perform SYSTEM INPUT TESTS under SYMPTOMS
TESTS.
3) If SYSTEM INPUT TESTS check okay, check vacuum pump
circuit. See CODE 11 under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. If SYSTEM INPUT TESTS do
not check okay, see INPUT INSPECTION CHART. See Fig. 3.
SYMPTOM TESTS
SYSTEM INPUT TESTS
1) System input tests should be performed if no trouble codes
are stored when performing RETRIEVING CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM. System input tests cycle each cruise control switch and
sensor.
Page 300 of 1501
2) Use scan tool for system input check according to
operating instructions provided with scan tool. Connect leads of
analog voltmeter between cruise control terminal and ground terminal
of data link connector. See Fig. 35.
3) Turn ignition on. To display results of input check, move
cruise control SET switch to ON position. Then turn MAIN switch to ON
position. Within one second, activate RESUME switch. Codes will
display if circuit tested is okay. See Fig. 3.
