CIRCUIT OPERATION
The power for the auto-cruise indicator in the combi-
nation meter is supplied from the ignition switch 
(IG1). When the auto-cruise control system is operat-
ing, the transistor inside the PCM illuminates the 
auto-cruise indicator through PCM terminal number 
13.

.

COMMENT
The cause is probably the malfunction of the indica-
tor bulb or the malfunction of the connector or har-
ness.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of the indicator bulb.

• Damaged harness or connector.

• Malfunction of the PCM.

DIAGNOSIS

.

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check the auto-cruise control indicator bulb.
(1) Remove the combination meter. Refer to GROUP 54A, 

Combination Meter Assembly and Vehicle Speed Sensor 

P.54A-65

.

(2) Check the auto-cruise control indicator bulb.
Q: Is the bulb blown?

YES : Replace the bulb. Then check that the malfunction is 

eliminated.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at combination 
meter connector D-03.
(1) Disconnect connector D-03 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Switch "ON" the auto-cruise control main switch.

(4) Measure the voltage between terminal 62 and ground.

• The voltage should measure battery positive voltage.

Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check combination meter connector D-03 and 
junction block connector D-210 for looser, corroded or 
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector.
Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace the damaged components. Refer to 

GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-

2

.

STEP 4. Check the harness for open circuit or short circuit 
to ground between combination meter connector D-03 
terminal 62 and junction block connector D-210 terminal 1.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Repair or replace the harness wire.
