AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1172000100281
By using the auto-cruise control system, the driver
can select and maintain a desired cruising speed
[between 40 km/h (25 mph) and 200 km/h (124
mph)] without depressing the accelerator pedal.NOTE: If engine speed reaches and exceeds 6000
r/min the Auto Cruise Control System will be can-
celled automatically.

AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION TO AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNOSISM1172003300251
The auto-cruise control system allows driving without
stepping on the accelerator pedal by setting a ran-
dom speed between 40 km/h (25 mph) and 200 km/h
(124 mph). Problems in this system can be investi-
gated by the following methods.Auto-cruise control system diagnostic
trouble codes
The auto-cruise control system consists of the
Engine ECU, control switches and sensors. The con-
trol switches and sensors monitor the state of the
vehicle. The Engine ECU controls the throttle valve
opening angle in the throttle body in accordance with
the input signals from the switches and sensors. If
the Engine ECU detects a problem on any of those

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: Hunting (Repeated Acceleration and Deceleration) Occurs at the Set
Vehicle Speed.
.
COMMENT
The output shaft speed sensor signal or the throttle
body is suspected.
.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST
LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CASE:)
Malfunction of the output shaft speed sensor.
Malfunction of the throttle body.
Malfunction of the Engine ECU.
Malfunction of the A/T ECU.

DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
MB991958: Diagnostic Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)
MB991824: V.C.I.
MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable
MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A
STEP 1. Using Diagnostic Tool MB991958, read the
diagnostic trouble code.
To prevent damage to Diagnostic Tool MB991958, always
turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before connecting or disconnecting Diagnostic Tool
MB991958.
(1) Connect Diagnostic Tool MB991958 to the data link
connector. (Refer to P.17-11).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check for A/T system diagnostic trouble code. (Refer to
GROUP 23A, A/T Diagnosis
Diagnostic Function How
to Read and Erase Diagnostic Trouble Code P.23A-13).
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(5) Disconnect Diagnostic Tool MB991958.
Q: Is any DTC set?
YES : Diagnose the A/T system. (Refer to GROUP 23A, A/T
Diagnosis
Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart
P.23A-34). Then go to Step 4.
NO : Go to Step 2.

When shifting the selector lever to "D" range, apply the brakes so that the vehicle does not move
forward.
Driving tests always need two persons: one driver and one observer.
NOTE: *:After the inspection is completed, disconnect the throttle position sensor connector, and then delete
the diagnostic trouble code using use of Diagnostic Tool MB991958. (Refer to P.17-11).

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 move-
ment at any time. Do not under any circumstances activate the throttle plate by hand.
When removing the throttle body from the intake manifold disconnect the wiring first. During
replacement connect the wiring last.
Do not activate the throttle body using a DC suppy to test the motor,as permanent damage to
the throttle body will result.
