The vehicle speed control system consists of the following components:
- Speed control deactivator switch
- 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 km/h (30 mph) and the maximum limited vehicle speed. 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:
- Turning on the speed control system
- Setting and maintaining the desired vehicle speed
- Accelerating the vehicle to a higher speed
- Decelerating to a lower speed
- Tapping-up/tapping-down the vehicle speed
- Deactivating the vehicle speed control system
- Resuming the prior vehicle speed
- Turning off the vehicle speed control system
