OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED
CONTROL SET
If the operator repeatedly presses and releases the
set button with their foot off of the accelerator (a ªlift
foot setº to begin speed control operation), the vehicle
may accelerate and exceed the desired set speed by
up to 5 MPH (8 km/h) and then decelerate to less
than the desired set speed before finally achieving
the desired set speed.
The Speed Control has an adaptive strategy that
compensates for vehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths. When the speed control is set
with the vehicle operators foot off of the accelerator
pedal, the speed control thinks there is excessive
speed control cable slack and adapts. If the lift foot
sets are continually used, the speed control over-
shoot/undershoot condition will develop.
To ªunlearnº the overshoot/undershoot condition,
the vehicle operator has to press and release the set
button while maintaining the desired set speed with
the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerat-
ing), and then turn the cruise control switch to the
OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if
equipped) after waiting 10 seconds. This procedure
must be performed approximately 10±15 times to
completely unlearn the overshoot/undershoot condi-
tion.
SERVO VACUUM TEST
(1) Turn ignition switch to the ON position with-
out starting engine. Activate speed control ON
switch.
(2) Disconnect the four-way electrical connector
and the vacuum harness at the servo (Fig. 5).
(3) Connect a jumper wire from Pin 3 of the servo
to Pin 3 of the wire connector.
(4) Ground Pins 2 and 4 in the servo. Do not con-
nect pin 1.
(5) Connect a hand held vacuum pump to the vac-
uum nipple and apply 10 - 15 inches of vacuum.
(6) If servo pulls cable, replace servo.
(7) Ground Pin 1 on servo.
(8) Check that the throttle cable pulls in and holds
as long as the vacuum pump is connected. After one
minute, check if cable is still holding. If cable does
not hold replace the servo.
(9) Disconnect jumper from pin 3. Cable should
return to rest position. If not, replace servo.
(10) Connect 4 way electrical connector and vac-
uum harness to servo.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH TEST
Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic
Manual for switch test valves.
STOP LAMP SWITCH TEST
(1) Remove the stop lamp switch refer to Stop
Switch Removal/Installation in this section. Discon-
nect connector from stop lamp switch (Fig. 6). Using
an ohmmeter, switch continuity may be checked as
follows:
(2) With switch plunger released, there should be
continuity between Pin 5 and Pin 6.
(3) With switch plunger depressed, there should be
continuity:
²Between Pin 1 and Pin 2.
²Between Pin 3 and Pin 4.
(4) If the above results are not obtained, the stop
lamp switch is defective or out of adjustment.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
WASHER NOZZLE
This model is equipped with two hood mounted
washer nozzles. Each nozzle emits two streams into
the wiper pattern (Fig. 1). If the nozzle performance
is unsatisfactory they can be adjusted. To adjust
insert a pin into the nozzle ball and move to proper
pattern (Fig. 2). The right and left nozzles are iden-
tical.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
All models are equipped with electric operated
windshield washer pumps.
The wash function can be accessed in the OFF
position of the wiper control switch. Holding the
wash button depressed when the switch is in the
OFF position will operate the wipers and washer
motor pump continuously until the washer button is
released. Releasing the button will stop the washer
pump but the wipers will complete the current wipe
cycle. Followed by an average of two more wipe
cycles (61) before the wipers park and the module
turns off.
Whenever a windshield washer malfunction occurs,
first verify that the windshield washer wire harness
is properly connected to all connectors before starting
normal diagnosis and repair procedures. Refer to
Windshield Washer Test Table.
The electric pump assembly is mounted directly to
the reservoir. A permanently lubricated motor is cou-
pled to a rotor type pump. Fluid, gravity fed from the
reservoir, is forced by the pump through rubber hoses
to the hood mounted nozzles which direct the fluid
streams to the windshield.
The pump and reservoir are serviced as separate
assemblies (Fig. 3).
