Code 13 (Position Sensor Circuit)

Code 13 sets if cruise control ECU senses an abnormal reference voltage from the actuator position sensor, or if voltage does not change when the actuator motor operates.

Remove cruise control ECU with electrical connectors still attached. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between specified terminals of cruise control ECU connector. See POSITION SENSOR VOLTAGE table. See Fig 1.
If voltage is not as specified, go to next step. If voltage is as specified:
- CODE - Check for intermittent condition (poor connections, etc.). If connections are okay, replace cruise control ECU.
- NO CODE - Perform next procedure listed in DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM table.
Disconnect electrical connector from actuator motor. Measure resistance between specified terminals of actuator motor connector. See POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE Figure. If resistance is not as specified, replace actuator.
If resistance is as specified, check for faulty circuit between cruise control ECU and actuator. If circuit is okay, replace cruise control ECU.
