The operator can set the vehicle cruising speed when the switch is in the SET/COAST position. The SET/COAST position can also be used to reduce the vehicle cruising speed. Hold the switch in the SET/COAST position and the vehicle will coast down to a lower speed. When the select switch is released, the cruising speed will be reset.
NOTE: Some OEMs have switches labeled SET/ACCEL and RESUME/COAST.
The operator can resume cruise control, after clutching or braking, by moving the switch to RESUME/ACCELERATE. The vehicle speed will return to the last set mph.
The RESUME/ACCELERATE position can also be used to increase the vehicle cruising speed. Hold the select switch in the RESUME/ACCELERATE position and the vehicle will increase in speed. When the switch is released, the cruising speed will be reset.
The cruise control select switch circuit is the common ground, pin 14
(SET/COAST signal), pin 24 (RESUME/ACCELERATE signal), and the two-position select switch located in the vehicle.
Touch one multimeter probe to the top terminal of the switch. Touch the other multimeter probe to the chassis ground. Move the switch to the SET/COAST position then to the RESUME/ACCELERATE position. Measure the resistance. The multimeter
must show an open circuit (100k ohms or more) when the switch is in all positions. If the circuit is
not open, the switch has failed. Refer to the OEM troubleshooting and repair manual for replacement procedures.
