2003 LEXUS LS430 cruise control

SYSTEM NAME AND PAGE REFERENCE
1.Pay attention to the following points when inspecting the cruise control system.
a. Push the cruise control main switch ON-OFF button off when not using the cruise control.
b. Be careful of vehicle speed increase when driving downhill with the cruise control on.
c. RESUME/ACCEL operation, after canceling the cruise control, works as RESUME, and works as
ACCEL while the cruise control system is in operation.
d. Push the cruise control main switch ON-OFF button off and reset the cruise control if the CRUISE
main indicator light blinks while the cruise control system is in operation. When the cruise control
cannot be set by this procedure or cancelled immediately after setting, there may be a malfunction
in the system.
e. Do not use the cruise control system where the road conditions are as follows:
Heavy traffic
Steep downhill
Sharp turns
Icy or snowy roads
Slippery roads

1.CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM

The computer which controls the cruise control system is combined with the ECM, and the actuator uses
the throttle position sensor and motor. A microcomputer is built into the ECM to control functions
including: ON-OFF, SET/COAST, RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL, vehicle speed operation, motor output
control, and overdrive control.
The ECM compares the driving vehicle speed from the speed sensor with the stored vehicle speed
set through the cruise control main switch assy. The ECM instructs the throttle valve motor of the
throttle position sensor and motor to close the valve when the driving vehicle speed is greater than
the stored vehicle speed, and instructs it to open the valve when the driving speed is less than the
stored speed.
The ECM receives signals such as ON-OFF, SET/COAST, RESUME/ACCEL, and CANCEL from
the cruise control main switch assy and executes them.
The ECM turns on the indicator in the combination meter based upon the ON signal from the cruise
control main switch assy.
The ECM cancels the cruise control system when it detects that the brake pedal is depressed, based
on the stop lamp switch signal.
The ECM cancels the cruise control system when it detects that the shift position is changed from
D (6th, 5th or 4th gear) to N (3rd, 2nd or 1st gear), based on the park/neutral position switch assy
signal.
2.LIMIT CONTROL
a. Low speed limit
The lowest possible limit of the speed setting range is set at approximately 40 km/h (25 mph). The
cruise control system cannot be set when the driving vehicle speed is below the low speed limit.
Cruise control operation will be automatically canceled and the stored vehicle speed will be erased
when the vehicle speed goes below the low speed limit while the cruise control is in operation.
b. High speed limit
The highest possible limit of the speed setting range is set at approximately 200 km/h (125 mph).
The cruise control system cannot be set when the driving vehicle speed is over the high speed limit.
Speed up using RESUME/ACCEL with the cruise control main switch assy also cannot be set
beyond the high speed limit.
3.OPERATION OF CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control main switch operates seven functions: SET, COAST, TAP-DOWN, RESUME,
ACCEL, TAP-UP, and CANCEL. The SET, TAP-DOWN and COAST functions, and the RESUME,
TAP-UP and ACCEL functions are operated with the same switch. The cruise control main switch assy is
an automatic return type switch which turns on only while operating it in each arrow direction and turns
off after releasing it.
a. SET CONTROL
Vehicle speed is stored and constant speed control is maintained when pushing the switch to SET/
COAST while drivin
g with the cruise control main switch ON-OFF button on (the CRUISE main

indicator light is on), and the vehicle speed is within the set speed range (between the low and high
speed limits).
b. COAST CONTROL
The ECM makes the cruise control demanding throttle opening angle zero degrees and decelerates
the vehicle (the throttle valve is not fully closed due to idle speed control, etc.) when SET/COAST
on the cruise control main switch is pressed and held while the cruise control system is in
operation. Vehicle speed, when the cruise control main switch is released from SET/COAST, is
stored and constant speed control is maintained.
c. TAP-DOWN CONTROL
When tapping down on the cruise control main switch to SET/COAST (for approximately 0.5
second) while the cruise control system is in operation, the stored vehicle speed decreases each
time by approximately 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). However, when the difference between the driving and
the stored vehicle speed is more than 5 km/h (approximately 3.1 mph), the vehicle speed, when the
cruise control main switch is released from SET/COAST, will be stored and constant speed control
is maintained.
d. ACCELERATION CONTROL
The throttle valve motor of the throttle position sensor and motor is instructed by the ECM to open

500044004c005100030056005a004c00570046004b0003004c[s pressed and held while the
cruise control system is in operation. Vehicle speed, when the cruise control main switch is
released from RESUME/ACCEL, is stored and the vehicle is controlled at a constant speed.
e. TAP-UP CONTROL
When tapping up on the cruise control main switch to RESUME/ACCEL (for approximately 0.5
second) while the cruise control system is in operation, the stored vehicle speed increases each time
by approximately 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). However, when the difference between the driving and the
stored vehicle speed is more than 5 km/h (approximately 3.1 mph), the stored vehicle speed will not
be changed.
f. RESUME CONTROL
If cruise control operation was cancelled with the stop lamp switch or the CANCEL switch, and if
driving speed is within the limit range, pushing the cruise control main switch to
RESUME/ACCEL restores vehicle speed memorized at the time of cancellation, and maintains
constant speed control.
g. MANUAL CANCEL CONTROL
Doing any of the following cancels the cruise control system while in operation. (The stored vehicle
speed in the ECM is maintained.)
Depressing the brake pedal

Moving the shift lever to any position except D (6th, 5th and 4th gears)
Pushing the cruise control main switch to CANCEL
Pushing the cruise control main switch ON-OFF button off (The stored vehicle speed in the ECM is
not maintained.)
4.AUTO CANCEL (FAIL-SAFE)
This system has an automatic cancellation function (fail-safe) (for details, see FAIL
-SAFE CHART ).
The hand-held tester can be used at steps 4, 5, 6, 7, and 12.
