INSPECTION PROCEDURE 7: When "CRUISE" (MAIN) Switch is Turned "ON", "CRUISE" Indicator Light Inside Combination Meter does not Illuminate. (However, Auto-cruise Control is Normal).: Diagnosis

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Required Special Tool: 

  1. STEP 1. Check that the indicator light inside the combination meter illuminates. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
    2. Check the indicator lights other than "CRUISE" indicator light illuminate.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

    Q: Do the indicator lights other than the "CRUISE" indicator light illuminate normally? 

    1. YES:  Go to  Step 6.
    2. NO:  Go to Step 2.
  2. STEP 2. Check combination meter connector C-01, joint connector (5) C-21 and junction block connector C-214 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

    Q: Is the fuse in good condition? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step 5.
    2. NO:  Replace the fuse. Then go to  Step 11.
  5. STEP 5. Check that the indicator light inside the combination meter illuminates. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
    2. Check that the indicator light inside the combination meter illuminates.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

    Q: Does the indicator light illuminate normally. 

    1. YES:  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ).
    2. NO:  Replace the combination meter. (Refer to COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY ). Then go to  Step 11.
  6. STEP 6. Check combination meter connector C-02, intermediate connector C-108 and ECM connector C-133 < M/T > or PCM connector C-134 < A/T > for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

    Q: Are the connectors and terminals in good condition? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step 7.
    2. NO:  Repair or replace the damaged components. Then go to  Step 11.
  7. STEP 7. Check the harness wire between combination meter connector C-02 terminal 33 and ECM connector C-133 < M/T > terminal 13 or PCM connector C-134 < A/T > terminal 13 for damage.

    Q: Are the harness wires in good condition? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step 8.
    2. NO:  Repair the damaged harness wire. Then go to  Step 11.
  8. STEP 8. Check the auto-cruise control indicator light bulb. 
    1. Remove the combination meter. (Refer to COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY ).
    2. Check the auto-cruise control indicator light bulb.

    Q: Is the bulb in good condition? 

    1. YES:  Install the combination meter. (Refer to COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY ). Then go to Step 9.
    2. NO:  Replace the bulb and install the combination meter. (Refer to COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY ). Then go to  Step 11.
  9. STEP 9. Measure the terminal voltage at ECM connector C-133 < M/T > or PCM connector C-134 < A/T >. 
    1. Disconnect ECM connector C-133 < M/T > or PCM connector C-134 < A/T > measure the harness connector.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
    3. Measure the terminal voltage between ECM connector C-133 < M/T > terminal 13 or PCM connector C-134 < A/T > terminal 13 and ground.
      • When the ignition switch to the "ON" position, the voltage should measure battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts).
      • When the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, the voltage should measure 0.5 volt or less.

    4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
    5. Connect ECM connector C-133 < M/T > or PCM connector C-134 < A/T >.

    Q: Is the measured voltage battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) when ignition switch to the "ON" position, and 0.5 volt or less when ignition switch to the "OFF" (LOCK) position? 

    1. YES:  Go to Step 10.
    2. NO:  Replace the combination meter (Refer to COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY ). Then go to  Step 11.
  10. STEP 10. Check the symptoms. 

    Q: Does the auto-cruise control indicator light illuminate when "CRUISE" (MAIN) switch is turned "ON"? 

    1. YES:  It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. (Refer to HOW TO COPE WITH INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTIONS ).
    2. NO:  Replace the ECM < M/T > or PCM < A/T > [Refer to ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) ]. Then go to Step 11.
  11. STEP 11. Check the symptoms. 

    Q: Does the auto-cruise control indicator light illuminate when "CRUISE" (MAIN) switch is turned "ON"? 

    1. YES:  Return to  Step 1.
