Hi, I have a problem with my control cruise. Some times it doesnt apply, but the light in the steering wheel is turning on. Othe times, it apply, but after the most minimal vibrations inside product of the road, it get off.

What can I check?

 

 

thank you

I would check the brake light switch adjustment first. I am not sure how the new trucks are designed, but if the brake light switch is too sensitive it could cause the Cruise Control to deactivate on bumps.

I seconf the above suggestion. If the pedal bounces up on the brake light switch, it will de-activate the cruise. It should be adjustable, just insrease the gap an 1/8th inch or so.

Hi everyoune, my control cruise is gone.

It doesn't function anymore. What can I check? is there a fuse? or any other part that can handle it? My truck had problems with a body control module located under the dashboard in the left side.

 

Any suggestion?

Any suggestion? Yes if you do not have a FSM get one NOW forget the Chiltons & Haynes they are to generic.

Here is the site for the FSM.

Check your owner's manual book. Cruise control is programmed to NOT work at certain speeds and in unsuitable conditions. You truck's cruise control may not activate at speeds less than that specified in the owner's manual and may disengage automaticaly when driving in unsuitable conditions such as very steep hills, rough roads and slippery road surfaces.

 

If none of those conditions is applicable to you, then the three most common problems may be a blown fuse, a bad electrical connection or the brake light switch may be contacting with the brake pedal lever when it shouldn't. The position of the brake light switch can be adjusted to remedy the problem. Some other GM truck owners have compained about the same types of problems in previous posts.

 

To put it simply, cruise control is not for use in city or low speed driving. If you are driving on roads rough enough to make your vehicle's brake pedal bounce, you probably shouldn't be using cruise contol anyways. If you are driving at higher speeds on fairly smooth roads when this happens, then you may indeed have an electical or mechanical problem.

 

Please let us know what your problem turns out to be.

 

Cheers, lvlagnum :D

First, I'm not trying to use it at low speeds, and not in a vibration situation anymore. It simply doesn't apply on highway speeds, or any other Normal situation I used to drive under the control cruise mode.

 

I checked, the brake light, and its always turned off, what mean that it isnt in contact when I'm driving (I checked it,with my brother driving the truck and me in the back, various situations, and I saw brake lights only when the brakepedal was applyed). So, I sopuse theres no problem with the brakelight actuator or valve located in the pedal...

 

I'm just thinking about a probable fuse, or what you're saying a bad electrical connection, but, what do I need to check, and WHERE is it located???

Why dont you take my advice since you not in the USA and buy the FSM and be able to diagnose ALL your problems.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
