AUTO-CRUISE CONTROL

TSB Revision

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL

17-19

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
This circuit checks the operation of the vehicle speed 
sensor. 
When the vehicle moves forward and reverses, the 
sensor turns ON and OFF repeatedly.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS
The vehicle speed signals from the vehicle speed 
sensor are not input to the auto-cruise control-ECU 
when the vehicle speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
The most likely causes for this code to be set are:

• Malfunction of the vehicle speed sensor.

• Damaged harness or connector.

• Malfunction of the auto-cruise control-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness set

STEP 1. Check the speedometer.
Q: Does the speedometer work normally?

YES : Go to Step 2 .
NO :  Check the speedometer circuit and repair or replace 

as required. (Refer to GROUP 54, Combination Meter 
Assembly 

P.54-119

). Then go to Step 6 .

STEP 2. Measure the circuit voltage at auto-cruise 
control-ECU connector C-35 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-35.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between auto-cruise control-ECU 

connector C-35 terminal 10 and ground by backprobing.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the voltage approximately between 8 and 12 volts?

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

STEP 3. Check auto-cruise control-ECU connector C-35 for 
loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals 
pushed back in the connector.
Q: Is the connector damaged?

YES : Repair or replace the damaged components. (Refer 

to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

). Then go to Step 6 .

NO :  Go to Step 4 .

STEP 4. Check the harness wire between intermediate 
connector C-29 (terminal No. 8) and auto-cruise 
control-ECU connector C-35 (terminal No.10).
Q: Is the harness wire between intermediate connector 

C-29 (terminal No. 8) and auto-cruise control-ECU 
connector C-35 (terminal No.10) in good condition?
YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-7

).

NO :  Repair the damaged harness wire. Then g to Step 6 .

STEP 5. Check the diagnostic trouble codes.
Q: Is DTC 12 set?

YES : Replace the auto-cruise control-ECU. (Refer to 

P.17-99

). Then go to Step 6 .

NO :  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

(Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunction 

P.00-7

).

STEP 6. Check the diagnostic trouble codes.
Q: Is DTC 12 set?

YES : Return to Step 1 .
NO :  This procedure is complete.
