Cruise Control Switch
The cruise control switch is used as an input for the TEC
controller to maintain ground speed when engaged. The
cruise control function is enabled when the switch is in
the ON (center) position. Pressing the front of the switch
to the momentary position sets the desired ground
speed. The cruise control function is disengaged when
the rear of the cruise control switch is depressed. On
machine with serial number below 314000000, the
cruise control switch is located on the operator side of
the console arm (as shown in Fig. 41). On machine with
serial number above 314000000, the cruise control
switch is located on the outside the console arm.
NOTE: The cruise control function can also be disen-
gaged if either brake pedal is pressed or if the traction
pedal is pressed and held in the reverse direction.
Testing
1. Before disconnecting the cruise control switch for
testing, the switch and its circuit wiring should be tested
as a TEC input with the InfoCenter Display (see In-
foCenter Display in this chapter). If the InfoCenter Dis-
play verifies that switch and circuitwiring are functioning
correctly, no further switch testing is necessary. If, how-
ever, the Display determines that the switch and circuit
wiring are not functioning correctly, proceed with test.
2. Make sure ignition switch is OFF. Remove key from
ignition switch.
3. Disassemble control arm to gain access to the cruise
control switch (see Control Arm in the Service and Re-
pairs section of Chapter 7 -- Chassis).
4. Disconnect harness electrical connector from the
switch.
5. With the use of a multimeter (ohms setting), the
switch functions may be tested to determine whether
continuity exists between the various terminals for each
position. The switch terminals are marked as shown in
Figure 42. The circuitry of the cruise control switch is
shown in the chart below. Verify continuity between
switch terminals.

6. If switch tests correctly and circuit problem still ex-
ists, check wire harness (see Electrical Schematics and
Wire Harness Drawings in Chapter 10 -- Foldout Draw-
ings).
7. After testing is completed, connect wire harness
connector t o the cruise control switch.
8. Assemble control arm (see Control Arm in the Ser-
vice and Repairs section of Chapter 7 -- Chassis).
