WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1998 Chevrolet Malibu, 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass, and 1997 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The cruise control module assembly contains an electronic controller and electric stepper motor. Controller monitors vehicle speed and operates electric stepper motor. Responding to controller, stepper motor moves a connecting strap that is attached to cruise control cable. Cable moves throttle linkage to vary throttle position in order to maintain desired cruise speed. Cruise control module assembly contains a low speed limit which will prevent system engagement when vehicle speed is less than about 25 MPH.
