Cruise Control Module Error
Indicates a fault within the cruise control module.
Heads up: this code wasn't in our hand-written library yet, so DiagCoach AI built this page on the fly. Double-check critical specs against service info before condemning parts.
What it means (plain English)
The cruise control module isn't communicating properly, which means your cruise control may not activate, or it might disengage unexpectedly.
What the computer is actually seeing
The vehicle's main computer monitors the cruise control module for signals. If it doesn't get a valid signal for 1 second or more, it triggers this code.
What a healthy reading looks like
The cruise control module should typically receive and send voltage signals between 0.5V to 5V when activated.
Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way
Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.
- 11. Check the wiring and connectors for the cruise control module. Look for breaks, corrosion, or loose connections. If any issues are found, repair accordingly.
- 22. Test the cruise control switch on the steering wheel for proper function. Use a multimeter to check for continuity when the switch is pressed. If it fails to show continuity, replace the switch.
- 33. If the wiring and switch are good, connect a scan tool to check if there are any additional codes. If there are related codes, address those first before moving on to the cruise control module.
- 44. If no external issues are found, test the cruise control module itself for functional energy and outputs. If it doesn't respond correctly or is outside expected voltage, replace the module.
Common causes
- Damaged wiring or connectors to the cruise control module.
- Faulty cruise control switch on the steering wheel.
- Bad cruise control module itself.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to drive with this code?
It's generally drivable but fix soon since cruise control may not function and could lead to inconvenient driving conditions.
Will this code come back after resetting?
If the underlying issue isn't fixed, yes, the code will likely return.
Why does this code appear along with other codes?
Cruise control issues can often be tied to multiple components; interconnected systems will trigger multiple fault codes.
