Speed Control Actuator

The speed control actuator provides signals to the stepper motor. The actuator moves the throttle by means of an internal stepper motor/geartrain and an actuator cable. The PCM generates the vehicle speed signal that the speed control actuator compares to the set speed selected by the driver. If a discrepancy exists, the speed control actuator will adjust the throttle, correcting the vehicle speed.

The speed control actuator is mounted behind the LH headlamp. The speed control actuator contains the electronic module and the stepper motor and geartrain.

If the clutch pedal (manual transaxle only) or the brake pedal is applied, the speed control actuator deactivates the speed control. The speed control actuator will enter a stand-by mode.
