IA/T shift solenoid valve A
Coast OperationNBEL0216S0204When the SET/COAST switch is depressed during cruise control driving, ASCD actuator returns the throttle
cable to decrease vehicle set speed until the switch is released. And then ASCD will keep the new set speed.
Accel OperationNBEL0216S0205When the RESUME/ACCEL switch is depressed, power is supplied
Ifrom ASCD steering switch terminal 3
Ito ASCD control unit terminal 24.
If the RESUME/ACCEL switch is depressed during cruise control driving, ASCD actuator pulls the throttle cable
to increase the vehicle speed until the switch is released or vehicle speed is reached to maximum controlled
speed by the system. And then ASCD will keep the new set speed.
Cancel OperationNBEL0216S0206When any of following condition exists, cruise operation will be canceled.
ICANCEL switch is depressed. (Power supply to ASCD control unit terminals 11 and 24)
IBrake pedal is depressed. (Power supply to ASCD control unit terminal 23 from stop lamp switch)
IBrake pedal is depressed or A/T selector lever is shifted to P or N position. (Power supply to ASCD con-
trol unit terminal 8 is interrupted.)
If MAIN switch is turned to OFF during ASCD is activated, all of ASCD operation will be canceled and vehicle
speed memory will be erased.
Resume OperationNBEL0216S0207When the RESUME/ACCEL switch is depressed after cancel operation other than depressing MAIN switch is
performed, vehicle speed will return to last set speed. To resume vehicle set speed, vehicle condition must
meet following conditions.
IBrake pedal is released.
IA/T selector lever is in other than P and N position.
IVehicle speed is between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
ASCD PUMP OPERATIONNBEL0216S03The ASCD pump consists of a vacuum motor, an air valve and a release valve. When the ASCD activates,
power is supplied
Ifrom terminal 12 of ASCD control unit
Ito ASCD pump terminal 1.
Ground is supplied to vacuum motor, air valve and release valve from ASCD control unit depending on the
operated condition as shown in the below table.
The pump is connected to ASCD actuator by vacuum hose. When the ASCD pump is activated, the ASCD
pump vacuum the diaphragm of ASCD actuator to control throttle cable.
