Extremely weird goings on with my cruise control
« on: 24 March 2017, 20:25:48 »

Finished rebuilding the dash ect this afternoon so tonight, I've just been for a blast up the M62  :D
In its self, the car is going, eh very well   :-X :D :D

Right, the very weird bit  :-\ :-\
Select cruise in any gear between 2 and 4 and it works perfectly  :y
You can adjust the speed up and down and it totally disengages with a touch of the brake or clutch pedal  :y
BUT select cruise in 5th and it totally fails to engage regardless of vehicle speed or engine speed  :o :o
No eml or anything.

Car is a 3.2 that has been converted to manual  :y :y

Instant thought .. is the cruise ECU from a manual or an auto ?? as the auto only has 4 gears, perhaps the ecu does not recognise "5th"... but I know knowt about ECU configurations ...perhaps it needs a chat with a tech2  to tell it that it's now a manual ??

Doesn't take too long to reprogram to manual :y

That was my first thought Nige but the manual gearbox has no electrical connection other then a switch for the reverse lamp  :-\

The Auto gearbox ECU has been totally disconnected and the car has had a couple of trips to Marks gaff for various updates including the one to tell the main ecu that its a manual  :-\

I'm wondering that due to the clutch switch and wiring back the main ecu only just been completed, the relevant programming didn't take  :-\

Unplug the auto ecu if not already done... Top in the auto will be a similar ratio to 4th on the manual... Engine ecu is probably confused ta fook ::)

Might need a couple of pins removing from the ecu plugs to balance the one fitted... will do some further digging ;)

Also bear in mind that cruise doesn't normally work above a certain speed... 130 springs to mind :-\
