* 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.

1) To clear trouble codes, disconnect battery cable, or use
alternative method to prevent memory loss.
2) Turn ignition on. Turn main cruise control switch and SET
switch to ON position, and within one second, turn RES switch to ON
position. Hold stoplight switch and cruise control switch in ON
position for greater than 5 seconds. Verify codes are cleared.

INTRODUCTION TO MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM (MAP)
OVERVIEW OF MOTORIST ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The Motorist Assurance Program is the consumer outreach
effort of the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association, Inc.
(AMRA). Participation in the Motorist Assurance Program is drawn from
retailers, suppliers, independent repair facilities, vehicle
manufacturers and industry associations.
Our organization's mission is to strengthen the relationship
between the consumer and the auto repair industry. We produce
materials that give motorists the information and encouragement to
take greater responsibility for their vehicles-through proper,
manufacturer-recommended, maintenance. We encourage participating
service and repair shops (including franchisees and dealers) to adopt
(1) a Pledge of Assurance to their Customers and (2) the Motorist
Assurance Program Standards of Service. All participating service
providers have agreed to subscribe to this Pledge and to adhere to the
promulgated Standards of Service demonstrating to their customers that
they are serious about customer satisfaction.
These Standards of Service require that an inspection of the
vehicle's (problem) system be made and the results communicated to the\
customer according to industry standards. Given that the industry did
not have such standards, the Motorist Assurance Program successfully
promulgated industry inspection communication standards in 1994-95 for
the following systems: Exhaust, Brakes, ABS, Steering and Suspension,
Engine Maintenance and Performance, HVAC, and Electrical Systems.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection were recently published.
Further, revisions to all of these inspection communication standards
are continually republished. In addition to these, standards for Drive
Train and Transmissions have recently been promulgated. Participating
shops utilize these Uniform Inspection & Communication Standards as
part of the inspection process and for communicating their findings to
their customers.
The Motorist Assurance Program continues to work
cooperatively and proactively with government agencies and consumer
groups toward solutions that both benefit the customer and are
mutually acceptable to both regulators and industry. We maintain the
belief that industry must retain control over how we conduct our
business, and we must be viewed as part of the solution and not part
of the problem. Meetings with state and other government officials
(and their representatives), concerned with auto repair and/or
consumer protection, are conducted. Feedback from these sessions is
brought back to the association, and the program adjusted as needed.
To assure auto repair customers recourse if they were not
satisfied with a repair transaction, the Motorist Assurance Program
offers mediation and arbitration through MAP/BBB-CARE and other non-
profit organizations. MAP conducted pilot programs in twelve states
before announcing the program nationally in October, 1998. During the
pilots, participating repair shops demonstrated their adherence to the
Pledge and Standards and agreed to follow the UICS in communicating
the results of their inspection to their customers. To put some
"teeth" in the program, an accreditation requirement for shops was
initiated. The requirements are stringent, and a self-policing method
