Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and parts: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, replacement fuses, and a new brake light switch if required.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.
2. Scan for Error Codes
  • Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port.
  • Turn on the ignition (do not start the engine) and scan for error codes.
  • Record any codes related to the cruise control system for further analysis.
3. Inspect the Cruise Control Switch
  • Remove the airbag cover or steering wheel trim (consult the service manual for specific instructions).
  • Disconnect the cruise control switch connector and visually inspect for damage.
  • If damaged, replace the cruise control switch.
4. Check the Brake Light Switch
  • Locate the brake light switch, usually mounted above the brake pedal.
  • Use a multimeter to test for continuity when the brake pedal is pressed.
  • If the switch fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new one.
5. Inspect Fuses
  • Locate the fuse box and identify the fuse related to the cruise control system (refer to the owner's manual for the exact location).
  • Check the fuse for continuity using a multimeter; replace if blown.
6. Verify Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
  • If necessary, remove the throttle body to access the TPS.
  • Test the TPS with a multimeter according to manufacturer specifications.
  • If the TPS is malfunctioning, replace it and reassemble the throttle body.
