GENERAL INFORMATION



The cruise control system, which provides the constant speed driving without depressing the accelerator pedal at a vehicle speed determined by the driver (within the range from approx. 40 to 160 km/h).
For this cruise control system, in conjunction with the electronic throttle valve control system, the engine-ECU electronically controls the throttle valve.

COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS


Component
Function
1
ABS-ECU
Outputs the cruise control cancel signal to the engine-ECU.
2
Accelerator pedal position sensor
Informs the engine-ECU of the accelerator pedal depression.
3
Cruise control indicator lamp
When the cruise control ON/OFF switch is pressed, a lamp will illuminate to inform the driver that the cruise control system is active.
4
Cruise control switch
Cruise control ON/OFF switch
Power switch for cruise control system.
RES + switch
Vehicle speed is set with the RES + switch and SET - switch.
SET - switch
CANCEL switch
Cancels the constant speed driving.
5
CVT-ECU

  • Controls the CVT based on the CVT control signal from the engine-ECU.
  • The selector lever "N" position signal from the inhibitor switch is sent to the engine-ECU.
  • Outputs the signal from the secondary pulley speed sensor to the engine-ECU.

6
Diagnosis connector
If the M.U.T.-III is connected, the diagnosis code and data list from the engine-ECU can be read.
7
Engine-ECU

  • Based on the input signal from each sensors and switches, the throttle opening angle indication signal is sent.
  • Based on the input signal from each sensors and switches, the CVT control signal is sent to the CVT-ECU.
  • Based on the secondary pulley speed sensor signal from the CVT-ECU, it calculates the vehicle speed.
  • Based on the selector lever "N" position signal from the CVT-ECU, it cancels constant speed driving.
  • To the cruise control indicator lamp, the cruise control system ON/OFF signal is sent.
  • The data list of the cruise control system is sent to the diagnosis connector.

8
Inhibitor switch
The constant speed driving is cancelled by the selector lever operation, the "N" position is detected.
9
Clutch switch <M/T>
The constant speed driving is cancelled by the clutch operation, the clutch pedal operation is detected.
10
Stop lamp switch

  • The constant speed driving is cancelled by the brake operation, the brake pedal operation is detected.
  • As for the stop lamp switch, two built-in switches, the stop lamp switch which is also used for the stop lamp illumination and the brake switch which is used exclusively for the cruise control, are integrated, and thus the reliability is enhanced.

11
Throttle valve control servo
The throttle valve opens and closes in response to the throttle angle control signal from the engine-ECU.
12
Throttle position sensor
Informs the engine-ECU of the throttle valve opening angle.
