Fast Idle Control

[nht mike]

Is there a way I can use my cruise control for fast idle while the truck is stopped? The truck is an '11 NHT 4X2.

 

Thanks

No

 

Why would you want to?

Hello! In my owners manual it talks about using the cruise for fast idle (1200 RPM) if you have that option. When I'm pulling my trailer and we stop for any reason I like to run the engine at about 1000 RPM no load for a minute or two to let things even out before shut down.

I stand corrected...

If you follow the instructions and it works then you have it. If it doesn't work then you don't have that feature.

 

Fast Idle System

If the vehicle has this feature it is

available only with cruise control.

The manual fast idle switch is

operated using the cruise control

buttons located on the left hand

side of the steering wheel.

This system can be used to

increase engine idle speed

whenever the following conditions

are met:

. The park brake is set.

. The brake pedal is not pressed.

. The vehicle must not be moving

and the accelerator must not be

pressed.

 

 

To control the fast idle:

. To enable the Fast Idle System,

press and release the Cruise

Control On/Off button and

ensure that the switch LED is lit.

. Press and release the Cruise

Control Set switch. Engine

speed will be held at

approximately 1200 RPM.

When the fast idle is active the

Driver Information Center (DIC) will

display “FAST IDLE ON.”

One of the following actions will turn

off the fast idle:

. Pressing the brake.

. Selecting the Cruise Control

Cancel button.

. Releasing the Parking Brake.

. The transmission shifter is

moved out of P (Park) or

N (Neutral).

. Selecting the Cruise Control

On/Off button when it was

previously on.

. Pressing the Cruise Control Set

switch a second time.

. Pressing the accelerator greater

than a quarter of the down.

. Turning the ignition switch to the

LOCK/OFF position.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have the feature. Do you know if it has to be wired in or is it a programing issue? You could pretty much say I hate all Fords, but one feature they have that I really like is a customer access wire bundle. In there are some wires marked PTO. One of them is for fast idle and the others have something to do with the transmission.

I was wondering if GM has something simular.
