Speed Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford RV Cutaway, 2005 Ford Econoline, 2005 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2005 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle speed control consists of the following components:
- Speed control deactivator switch
- Powertrain control module (PCM)
- Speed control switches
The speed control system is controlled by the PCM. The speed control system is designed to maintain a selected vehicle speed between 48 and 200 km/h (30 and 124 mph). The speed control system is controlled by the steering wheel mounted switches (ON, OFF, SET/ACCEL, COAST, RESUME), and the brake pedal switches (stoplamp and speed control deactivator switches). The steering wheel mounted switches are hardwired to the PCM.
The speed control functions include:
- turn on the speed control system.
- set and maintain the desired vehicle speed.
- accelerate the vehicle to a higher speed.
- decelerate to a lower speed.
- tap-up/tap-down the vehicle speed.
- resume the prior vehicle speed.
- turn off the vehicle speed control system.
