ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH CHECKM1172001200054
AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL MAIN SWITCH CHECK
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
2. Check that the "CRUISE" indicator lamp within the
combination meter illuminates when the "CRUISE" (MAIN)
switch is switched "ON".
AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SETTING
1. Switch "ON" the "CRUISE" (MAIN) switch.
2. Drive at the desired speed, above approximately 40 km/h.
3. Push the auto-cruise control switch in the direction of the
arrow.
4. Check to be sure that when the switch is released the speed
is the desired constant speed.
NOTE: If the vehicle speed decreases to approximately 15
km/h below the set speed because of climbing a hill for
example, it is normal for the auto-cruise control to be can-
celled.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL17-72
SPEED-INCREASE SETTING
1. Set to the desired speed.
2. Push the auto-cruise control switch in the direction of the
arrow.
3. Check to be sure that acceleration continues while the
switch is held, and that after it is released the constant
speed at the time when it was released becomes the driving
speed.
NOTE: Acceleration can be continued even if the vehicle
speed has passed the high-speed limit [approximately 170
km/h ]. But the speed when the auto-cruise control switch is
released will be recorded as the high-speed limit.
SPEED-REDUCTION SETTING
1. Set to the desired speed.
2. Push the auto-cruise control switch in the direction of the
arrow.
3. Check to be sure that deceleration continues while the
switch is pressed, and that after it is released the constant
speed at the time when it was released becomes the driving
speed.
NOTE: When the vehicle speed reaches the low limit
[approximately 40 km/h ] during deceleration, the
auto-cruise control will be cancelled.
RETURN TO THE SET SPEED BEFORE
CANCELLATION AND AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL
CANCELLATION
1. Set the auto-cruise speed control.
2. When any of the following operations are performed while at
constant speed during auto-cruise control, check if normal
driving is resumed and deceleration occurs.
(1) The auto-cruise control switch is pulled in the direction of
the arrow.
(2) The brake pedal is depressed.
(3) The selector lever is moved to the "N" range.
3. At a vehicle speed of 40 km/h or higher, check if when the
"ACC/RES" switch is switched ON, the vehicle speed
returns to the speed before auto-cruise control driving was
cancelled, and constant speed driving occurs.
4. When the "CRUISE" (MAIN) switch is turned to the "OFF"
while driving at constant speed, check if normal driving is
resumed and deceleration occurs.

AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH CHECK
1. Remove the auto-cruise control switch. (Refer to P.17-75).
2. Measure the resistance between terminal 2 and terminal 3
when each of the "COAST/SET", "ACC/RES", "CANCEL"
and "CRUISE" (MAIN) switches is pressed. If measure
values measured at the time correspond to those in the table
below, the resistance values are correct.
STOPLIGHT SWITCH
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Check for continuity between the terminals of the switch.SWITCH POSITION SPECIFIED CONDITION

Refer to GROUP 13A, On-vehicle Service Throttle Actuator
Control Motor Check 13A-671 (3.8L engine).
If the air intake duct is removed from the throttle
body take great care to keep fingers away from the
throttle plate. The drive motor has very high torque
and is capable of random movement at any time. Do
not under any circumstance activate the throttle plate
by hand.
When removing the throttle body from the intake
manifold disconnect the wiring first.During replace-
ment connect the wiring last.
Do not activate the throttle body using a DC supply to
test the motor, as permanent damage to the throttle
body will result.
