SECTION 12E - CRUISE CONTROL IMPORTANT: Before performing any Service Operation or other procedure described in this Section, refer to Section 00 CAUTIONS AND NOTES for correct workshop practices with regard to safety and/or property damage. 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Cruise control is a vehicle speed control system which maintains a desired vehicle speed without the driver having to continually apply foot pressure to the accelerator pedal. Cruise control is standard equipment on all WH Series models and is the same as that fitted to VT Series models. It is an Electro-motor system that is vacuum independent. The Electro-motor cruise control system uses a stepper motor to control vehicle speed. On models fitted with GEN III V8 engines, a throttle relaxer servo is also fitted as part of the traction control system to provide engine torque control. The throttle relaxer momentarily reduces the throttle opening angle when traction loss occurs. There is no electronic interface between the throttle relaxer and the cruise control module. 1.1 SYSTEM OPERATION The main components of the Electro-motor cruise control system are the cruise control module, cruise control switches (mounted on the turn signal stalk), brake pedal electrical release switch, brake pedal stop lamp switch, cruise control cable and electrical wiring (incorporated into the main wiring harness). The cruise control module also uses an output from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for vehicle speed, and an input to the Body Control Module (BCM) to send a serial data message to the instruments (cruise control interface). When the cruise control module is powered up via the cruise control ON-OFF switch, the cruise control module activates an input to the BCM. The BCM sees
