CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM 8E-11
VSS Circuit Check
Fig. for Step 1Step Action Yes No
1 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit Check
1) Disconnect connector from cruise control module with
ignition switch OFF.
2) Check for proper connection to cruise control module at
terminal E132-1.
3) If OK, check for continuity between terminals E132-1 and
E59-2, terminals C52-2 and C20-1 referring to “CRUISE
CONTROL SYSTEM” in Section 8A.
Is check result satisfactory?VSS circuit is OK.“BLU/YEL” cir-
cuit is open.

Cruise Control Module and Its Circuit Inspection
VOLTAGE CHECK
Check for input or output voltage of control module (voltage between each circuit and body ground) with cruise
control module connector connected.CAUTION:
Cruise control module can not be checked by itself. It is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter or
ohmmeter to cruise control module with coupler disconnected from it.

Coast/Set, Resume/Accel and Cancel
Switches
These switches are built in the combination switch assembly.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Refer to “COMBINATION SWITCH” in Section 3C1.
INSPECTION
1) Disable air bag system referring to “DISABLING AIR BAG
SYSTEM” in Section 10B.
2) Disconnect connector (1) of COAST/SET, RESUME/ACCEL
and CANCEL switches.
3) Check for resistance between “SW” and “GND” terminals of
disconnected switch connector (1) under each condition
below.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace combination switch
assembly.

10-2 RESTRAINT SYSTEM
General Description
SEAT BELT WITH ELR
The seat belt with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) is designed so that it locks immediately (to prevent the
webbing from being pulled out of the retractor any further) when any of the following items is detected as
exceeding each set value; speed at which the webbing is pulled out of the retractor, acceleration or deceleration
of the vehicle speed, and inclination.
SEAT BELT WITH A-ELR
The automatic and emergency locking retractor (A-ELR) works as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) till its
webbing is pulled all the way out and then on as an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) till it is retracted fully.
ALR :
Automatically locks when the webbing is pulled out from the retractor and allowed to retract even a little.
Then the webbing can not be pulled out any further, unless it is wound all the way back into the retractor, which
releases the lock and allows the webbing to be pulled out.
SEAT BELT WITH PRETENSIONER (IF EQUIPPED)
The seat belt with ELR and a pretensioner has a pretensioner mechanism which operates in linkage with the air
bag in addition to the above described ELR. The pretensioner takes up the sag of the seat belt in occurrence of
a front collision with an impact larger than a certain set value, thereby enhancing restraint performance.
DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS
The driver and front passenger side air bags are components of the air bag system. In occurrence of a front col-
lision with an impact larger than a certain set value, they are activated by the ignition signal from SDM to supple-
ment protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
•the driver air bag (inflator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column
•the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of the front passenger
seat
For more information, refer to Section 10B “Air Bag System”.
