Cruise Control Switch
The cruise control switch is used as an input for the
TEC--5002 controller to maintain ground speed. The
cruise control function is engaged (set) when the front
of the cruise control switch is depressed. The cruise
control function is disengaged when the rear of the
cruise control switch is depressed. The c ruise control
switch is located on the console arm (Fig. 71).
NOTE: The cruise function is also disengaged if the
brake pedal is applied or if the traction pedal is pressed
to 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 controller inputwith the Info Center Diagnostic
Display (see Info Center Display in this section).
2. If the Diagnostic Display verifies that the cruise con-
trol switch and circuit wiring arefunctioning correctly, no
further switch testing is necessary.
3. If the D iagnostic Display determines that the cruise
control switch and circuit wiring are not functioning cor-
rectly, test cruise control switch.
4. Make sure ignition switch is OFF. Remove key from
ignition switch.
5. Disassemble console arm to gain access to cruise
control switch (see Console Arm Disassembly in the
Service and Repairs section of Chapter 7 -- Chassis).
6. The switch terminals are marked as shown in Figure
72. The circuit logic of the cruise control switch is shown
in the chart to the right. With the use of a multimeter
(ohms setting), the switch functions may betestedtode-
termine whether continuity exists between the various
terminals for each position. Verify continuity between
switch terminals. Replace switch if testing identifies a
faulty switch.
7. Connect the harness connector to the switch after
testing.
8. 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).
9. Assemble console arm cover (see Console Arm As-
sembly in the Service and Repairs section of Chapter 7
-- Chassis).
