Section 335 (Cruise Control Systems): Pre-Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Diagnosis system  :
      NOTE: If the indicator check result is not normal, proceed to troubleshooting. See TROUBLESHOOTING for the combination meter section.

    1. Check the indicator.
      1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      2. Check that the CRUISE MAIN indicator light comes on when the cruise control main switch is turned on, and that the indicator light goes off when the main switch is turned OFF.
    2. Check the DTC.
      NOTE: If a malfunction occurs in the No. 1 vehicle speed sensor or actuator, etc. during cruise control driving, the ECU actuates AUTO CANCEL of the cruise control and turns ON and OFF the CRUISE MAIN indicator light to inform the driver of a malfunction. At the same time, the malfunction is stored in memory as a diagnostic trouble code.

    3. Using diagnosis check wire, check the output of DTC.
      1. Turn the ignition switch ON.
      2. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.

      3. Read the DTC on the CRUISE MAIN indicator light.
        NOTE: If the DTC is not output, inspect the diagnosis circuit. As an example, the blinking patterns for codes; normal 11 and 21 are shown.

  2. ECU terminal values measurement by using Toyota break-out-box and Toyota hand-held tester 
    1. Hook up the TOYOTA break-out-box and TOYOTA hand-held tester to the vehicle.
    2. Read the ECU input/output values by following the prompts on the tester screen.
      NOTE: TOYOTA hand-held tester has a "Snapshot" function. This records the measured values and is effective in the diagnosis of intermittent problems. Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester/TOYOTA break-out-box operator's manual for further details.

    3. NOTE: Under the erase mode, diagnostic detection does not work.

    Components called out in steps are identified in the graphic, see Fig 6.

  3. DTC Clearance (erase mode): 
    1. Drive at about 15 km/h or below.
    2. Using SST, connect terminals Tc and E1 of DLC1.
      1. SST 09843-18020
    3. Pull the cruise control switch to CANCEL.
    4. On the above mentioned condition, turn on the cruise control main switch 5 times within 3 seconds.

    2. Inspect the ACCEL switch.
      1. Push the main switch ON.
      2. Drive at a desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
      3. Press the control switch to the SET/COAST.
      4. Check that the vehicle speed increases while the control switch is turned to RES/ACC, and that the vehicle cruises at the set speed when the switch is released.
      5. Momentarily press the control switch upward to RES/ACC and then immediately release it. Check that the vehicle speed increases by about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) (Tap-up function).

    3. Inspect the COAST.
      1. Push the main switch ON.
      2. Drive at a desired speed (40 km/h (25 mph) or higher).
      3. Press the control switch to the SET/COAST.
      4. Check that the vehicle speed decreases while the control switch is turned to SET/COAST, and the vehicle cruises at the set speed when the switch is released.
      5. Momentarily press the control switch downward to SET/COAST, and then immediately release it. Check that the vehicle speed decreases by about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) (Tap-down function).
