Common faults that may prevent your car’s cruise control system from switching on, engaging or
maintaining a constant speed include any of the following:
A BLOWN FUSE: A short or electrical overload in the cruise control circuit may have caused the
power supply fuse to blow. Refer to your owner’s manual for the location of the fuse.

2. A FAULTY BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH: Step on the brakes to see if the brake lights come on. No lights
could indicate a faulty brake pedal switch if the brakes and cruise control share the same switch.If
the parking brake or switch is misadjusted, it will prevent the cruise control system from engaging.
A FAULTY VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR: The cruise control system can't function without a good speed
input. A bad VSS will also prevent the speedometer from working. If the speedometer is reading

3. normally, you can probably rule this out as a possible cause.
FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL: If some of the cruise control buttons
work, but others do not, chances are the problem is in the switch. If none of the buttons work,
chances are the fault is in the wiring. Repairing the wiring or replacing the switch will require
removing the steering wheel.

4. FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL MODULE OR PCM:This may or may not set a fault code. If the Check
Engine Light is on, and you find a code related to the cruise control system, the code will give an
indication of the nature of the fault.If a cruise control code indicates a module fault, check the
power and ground connections to the module. If that is not the problem, you will need a
replacement module from an auto parts store.
FAULTY VACUMM ACTUATOR: If you have an older vehicle with an electromechanical cruise control
system, failure of the diaphragm inside the vacuum actuator or a faulty vacuum control solenoid can
prevent the actuator from operating normally.There is no way to rebuild the unit, so it will have to

5. be replaced if defective.
FAULTY THROTTLE ACTUATOR ON A VEHICLE WITH ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL: If the motor
that opens and closes the throttle is bad, the engine probably won’t' run above idle. The Check
Engine light should also be on, with codes set for the throttle actuator motor or throttle control
system.
