how to fix the cruise control not working in my Toyota Camry Seventh Generation (2012-2017)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather needed tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Check and Replace Fuses

• Locate the fuse box, usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
• Use a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to remove the cruise control fuse.
• Inspect the fuse for any signs of damage. If blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage rating.
• Reconnect the battery.

3. Test and Replace Switches

• Locate the brake and accelerator pedal switches.
• Use a multimeter to check for continuity at the switches when pressed.
• If either switch is faulty, remove the old switch and install a new one, ensuring proper alignment and connection.

4. Inspect and Clean Cruise Control Module

• Access the cruise control module, typically located near the engine compartment.
• Disconnect the wiring harness from the module.
• Inspect for any corrosion or damage; clean connectors using electrical contact cleaner if necessary.
• If the module is damaged, replace it with a new one.

5. Verify Vehicle Speed Sensor

• Locate the vehicle speed sensor, generally near the transmission.
• Check the sensor's wiring for damage.
• Use a multimeter to measure the sensor’s output; replace it if it does not meet specifications.
