Steering Wheel Switch Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford Transit Connect. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Cruise control switch inputs are received by the SCCM and sent to the PCM through the GWM on the HS-CAN circuit.

Pressing and releasing the ON/OFF switch turns the cruise control system on. Pressing up (SET+) or down (SET-) on the SET switch while the vehicle is traveling at the desired speed activates the cruise control system.

While the cruise control system is active, applying the brake pedal or pressing the CAN/RES switch puts the cruise control system into standby mode. Pressing the CAN/RES switch when the cruise control system is in standby mode causes the vehicle to accelerate to the last set speed. Resume does not function if the ON/OFF switch is pressed, the ignition is cycled OFF or if the current vehicle speed is below the minimum operational speed.

Pressing the SET switch up or down while in the active mode increases or decreases the maintained vehicle speed by 1.6 kmh (1 mph) per press. If the respective switch is pressed and held, the vehicle speed continues to accelerate or decelerate until the switch is released.

Pressing and releasing the ON/OFF switch while the cruise control is active or the ignition is cycled OFF, turns the cruise control system off.
