CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM
1993 Nissan Sentra

1993 ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT Nissan Cruise Control Systems Sentra

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
NOTE: For system component locations, see SYSTEM COMPONENT LOCATIONS table under DESCRIPTION & OPERATION.

ACTUATOR
Actuator pump contains a vacuum pump motor and control valve assembly. Control valve assembly regulates vacuum supply to diaphragm based on signals received from cruise control module.

BRAKE CANCEL, BRAKELIGHT & CLUTCH SWITCHES
NOTE: DO NOT confuse brake cancel switch (activated by braking) with CANCEL switch on steering wheel. See STEERING SWITCH.

These switches disengage system. Brake cancel switch and brakelight switch are separate switches. When brake pedal is pressed: * * Brakelight switch allows current flow to control module. Brake cancel switch interrupts current flow to control module.

If either condition occurs, control module disengages the system. When clutch pedal is pressed, clutch switch interrupts current flow to control module. This disengages system.

CRUISE CONTROL MODULE
Based on inputs received from various sensors, cruise control module sends signals to actuator control valve assembly to maintain vehicle speed.

INHIBITOR RELAY (A/T)
When transmission is in Park or Neutral, inhibitor relay interrupts current flow to cruise control module, disengaging system.

MAIN SWITCH
system. Switch is mounted on instrument panel and supplies power for

STEERING SWITCH
Steering switch is a system control switch, mounted on steering wheel. Steering switch has 3 different switches, controlling different functions of system. Steering switch contains RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and SET/COAST switches.

Cruise Control Module

NOTE:

1) Turn ignition on. Turn cruise control main switch to ON position. If indicator light illuminates, go to next step. If indicator light does not illuminate, check for blown fuse, open in power supply circuit to main switch or faulty cruise control main switch. If these components are okay, perform CRUISE CONTROL RELAY test under TESTING. 2) Perform POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT test under TESTING. If power supply circuit is okay, perform CUT-OFF CIRCUIT test under TESTING. If cut-off circuit is okay, perform SET/COAST SWITCH CIRCUIT test under TESTING. 3) If SET/COAST switch circuit is okay, perform SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT test under TESTING. If speed sensor circuit is okay, perform ACTUATOR test under TESTING. If actuator is okay, measure resistance between cruise control module connector terminal No. 8 and terminals No. 9, 10 and 14. See Fig. 2 and 3. 4) If resistance is not about 8-45 ohms when measuring between terminals No. 8 and 9, and about 65 ohms when measuring between terminal No. 8 and terminals No. 10 and 14, repair harness. If resistance is as specified, replace cruise control module.

NOTE:

1) If system will not disengage when the brake or clutch (M/T) pedals are pressed or when transmission is placed in Park or Neutral, perform CUT-OFF CIRCUIT test under TESTING. 2) If cut-off circuit does not test okay, check brake cancel switch, clutch switch (M/T), inhibitor relay (A/T) and inhibitor switch (A/T). If cut-off circuit is okay, perform ACTUATOR test under TESTING. If actuator is okay, replace cruise control module.

Check for loose, cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses. Ensure actuator cable moves smoothly. Repair or replace actuator cable if cable does not move smoothly. If actuator cable moves smoothly, perform ACTUATOR test under TESTING. If actuator is okay, replace cruise control module.

SYSTEM WILL NOT ENGAGE

SYSTEM WILL NOT DISENGAGE
Use the following procedure if system will not disengage when pressing brake or clutch pedal, or when shifting automatic transmission into Park or Neutral. If system will not disengage when activating CANCEL switch, see CANCEL SWITCH FUNCTION INOPERATIVE.

ENGINE SURGES

CANCEL SWITCH FUNCTION INOPERATIVE
Perform CANCEL SWITCH CIRCUIT (STEERING WHEEL) test under TESTING. If CANCEL switch circuit is okay, replace cruise control module.

RESUME FUNCTION INOPERATIVE
Perform RESUME SWITCH CIRCUIT test under TESTING. If RESUME/ACCEL switch circuit is okay, replace cruise control module.

ACCEL FUNCTION INOPERATIVE
Perform RESUME SWITCH CIRCUIT test under TESTING. If RESUME switch circuit tests okay, replace cruise control module.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SET SPEED & ACTUAL SPEED
Check actuator cable for smoothness of operation. Replace actuator cable if cable does not move smoothly. If actuator cable moves smoothly, check for loose, cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses. If vacuum hoses are okay, perform ACTUATOR test under TESTING. If actuator is okay, replace cruise control module.

OVERDRIVE CANCEL FUNCTION INOPERATIVE
NOTE: * * * Symptoms of inoperative overdrive cancel function include: When cruise control is set and transmission is in overdrive, overdrive is canceled and it is not possible to shift back into overdrive. Overdrive will not be canceled, even if actual speed is 4 MPH lower than set speed (set speed cannot be maintained). Overdrive will not be canceled, even if accelerator switch is on.

Perform OVERDRIVE CANCEL CIRCUIT (A/T) test under TESTING. If overdrive cancel circuit is okay, replace cruise control module.

EXCESSIVELY DELAYED ENGAGEMENT
NOTE: Some delay of engagement is normal.

Check adjustment of actuator cable. See ACTUATOR CABLE under ADJUSTMENTS. Ensure actuator cable moves smoothly. Replace actuator cable if cable does not move smoothly. Check for loose, cracked or disconnected vacuum hoses. If vacuum hoses are okay, perform ACTUATOR test under TESTING. If actuator is okay, replace cruise control module.

CRUISE INDICATOR LIGHT BLINKS
1) If indicator light does not blink when cruise control main switch is turned to ON position again, go to step 3). If indicator light blinks when brake pedal is pressed slowly, adjust brake cancel and brakelight switches. See BRAKE CANCEL, BRAKELIGHT & CLUTCH SWITCHES under ADJUSTMENTS. 2) If indicator light does not blink when brake pedal is pressed slowly, check steering switch. If steering switch is okay, replace cruise control module. 3) Perform ACTUATOR test under TESTING. If actuator is okay, measure voltage between cruise control module connector terminals No.

3 and 8. If voltage is present, check wiring harness. If no voltage is present, disconnect cruise control module connector. 4) Measure resistance between cruise control module connector terminal No. 8 and terminals No. 9, 10 and 14. See Fig. 2 and 3. If resistance is not about 8-45 ohms between terminals No. 8 and 9, and about 65 ohms between terminal No. 8 and terminals No. 10 and 14, repair harness. If resistance is as specified, replace cruise control module.
