Vacuum pump and regulator are contained in one unit, located in left front corner of engine compartment. When cruise control system is operating, a 12-volt electric motor pumps vacuum when accelerator is depressed, sucking air out of tube which leads to vacuum servo. Air is pumped out through right coupling.

between control unit and diagnostic hookup can be changed. This is useful if system is read with a display instrument (scan tool). See TRANSFER RATE TEST CODES table. This step is not necessary if normal rate is desired, as this rate is loaded with each ignition start. 2) To enter transfer rate test mode, press activation button 4 times, holding button down about one second each time.

3) Let vacuum servo remain contracted for at least 30 seconds to ensure there is no leakage in vacuum system. See Fig. 2. To release vacuum servo, remove wire from terminal 9S. Turn ignition off. If system operates as described, go to step 7). If system does not operate as described, go to next step.

or an abnormal speed signal. Code is stored only if control unit has had a normal signal at some time during road test and not for stationary interruptions. Code 1-2-2 is stored when ignition is turned on. It remains until vehicle speed is greater than 22 MPH for at least 15 seconds.
1-1-1 (one press each time LED lights). Hold activation button down about one second each time. Read response code. Code 1-1-4 (Safety Disengagement) Code 1-1-4 is set in event of a safety disengagement. Safety disengagement does not necessarily mean something is wrong with system.
