- Cruise control inoperative.

On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:

- Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.

Enable criteria:
- Crankshaft rotating but engine not yet started. Main relay voltage exceeding 5V.

Fault criteria:
- Throttle motor is receiving 100 % PWM in opening direction.

Dependents:
- None.

System reaction to a fault:
- Throttle control goes into limp-home mode. The limp-home solenoid will be activated 5 times in succession each time the ignition is turned on until the fault has been rectified and the trouble codes cleared.

OK report:





- Accelerator pedal has been depressed at some time and then fully released. 120 s has expired since then without fault criteria being fulfilled.

Fault handling: Fault Handling III, Other Emission-Related Comp. & Function
- CHECK ENGINE goes on immediately and can be turned off only by clearing the trouble codes.
