OPERATION When speed control is selected by depressing the ON switch, the PCM (the ECM with a diesel engine) allows a set The speed control can be disengaged manually by: • Stepping on the brake pedal • Depressing the OFF switch • Depressing the CANCEL switch. • Depressing the clutch pedal (if equipped). NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in the For added safety, the speed control system is programmed to disengage for any of the following conditions: • An indication of Park or Neutral • A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch has been disengaged) • Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear) • The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction between • The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph per second (indicates that the vehicle may have decelerated Once the speed control has been disengaged, depressing the RES/ACCEL switch (when speed is greater than 30 While the speed control is engaged, the driver can increase the vehicle speed by depressing the RES/ACCEL 9 tap-up 9 feature in which vehicle speed increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph for each momentary switch activation of the RES/ACCEL switch. A “tap down” feature is used to decelerate without disengaging the speed control system. To decelerate from an DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VACUUM SUPPLY TEST 3.7L / 4.7L Gas Powered Engines 3.7L/4.7L gas powered engines: actual engine vacuum, a vacuum reservoir, a one-way check valve and vacuum 1. Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo and install a vacuum gauge into the disconnected hose. 2. Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vacuum gauge should read at least ten inches of mercury. 3. If vacuum is less than ten inches of mercury, determine source of leak. Check vacuum line to engine for leaks. Also check actual engine intake manifold vacuum. If manifold vacuum does not meet this requirement, check for 4. If vacuum line to engine is not leaking, check for leak at vacuum reservoir. To locate and gain access to reser- voir, refer to Vacuum Reservoir Removal/Installation in this group. Disconnect vacuum line at reservoir and con- 5. Verify operation of one-way check valve and check it for leaks. a. Locate one-way check valve. The valve is located in vacuum line between vacuum reservoir and engine vacuum source. Disconnect vacuum hoses (lines) at each end of valve. 8P - 2 SPEED CONTROL DR/DH |
