Cruise Control Actuator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Suzuki X-90 and 1996 Suzuki Sidekick. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- To check cruise control actuator resistance, disconnect electrical connector at cruise control actuator and note electrical connector terminal identification. SeeFig 1 .
- Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between terminals No. 2 and 4, and that resistance 12-18 ohms. Replace cruise control actuator if no continuity exists or resistance is not within specification.
- To check cruise control actuator operation, remove cover from top of cruise control actuator. Note location of electrical connector terminals. SeeFig 1 . Terminals No. 2 and 3 must be removed from electrical connector. Use thin wire to lift terminal lock upward and remove terminals No. 2 and 3 from electrical connector. SeeFig 2 .
- Connect jumper wires between positive battery terminal and terminals No. 2 and 3. Connect jumper wires between negative battery terminal and terminals No. 1 and 4. Cruise control actuator should rotate to fully open position. SeeFig 3 .
- Disconnect jumper wire from terminal No. 3. Cruise control actuator should rotate to fully closed position. SeeFig 3 .
- Connect terminal No. 3 to positive battery terminal and terminal No. 1 to negative battery terminal. Clutch on cruise control actuator should operate and cruise control actuator cable should be held in position. Disconnect jumper wires.
- Rotate cruise control actuator to fully open position. SeeFig 3 . Connect terminals No. 3 and 4 to positive battery terminal and terminals No. 1 and 2 to negative battery terminal. Cruise control actuator should rotate to fully closed position. Remove jumper wires. Reinstall wires in electrical connector. Replace cruise control actuator if defective.
