The CRC-2000 was designed to work with CAN bus GM LS engine/drivetrain packages, as either a complete transplant
from a stock vehicle, or a Connect Cruise, using a GM ECU programmed with US SAE code.
Works with 2008 and newer GM CAN bus engine/drivetrain packages with US SAE code.
Requires a 4,000 Pulse Per Mile VSS square wave speed signal.
o
GM ECU Speed output or VSS Out, (not VSS High).
o
Dakota Digital SPD OUT from a control box.
Mix and match engines, transmissions and ECUs will most likely NOT work.
Advanced tuning to the ECU could disable the cruise control operation.
The CRC-2000 is designed to only work with a GM CAN bus computer system.
o
Not designed for Ford, Mopar, or aftermarket EFI systems like Holley
CRC-2000 "Drive-by-Wire" cruise control.

Summary of Contents for Dakota Digital CRC-2000

  • Page 1 This manual covers the aspects of installation, operation, and troubleshooting of the CRC-2000 “Drive-by-Wire” cruise control. The CRC-2000 was designed to work with CAN bus GM LS engine/drivetrain packages, as either a complete transplant from a stock vehicle, or a Connect Cruise, using a GM ECU programmed with US SAE code.
  • Page 2 Pedals vary in build and operation. The pin layout must be a single row as shown in the purple pedal plug of the 250-2766 below. If the pins are turned, or the pedal has a dual row of pins, the CRC-2000 will not function, and the wiring and cannot be modified “to make work”.
  • Page 3 CONNECTORS AND PIN OUTS The CRC-2000 has four connectors on the front that we use. They are labeled as: • J1 – Not Used • J2 – Power/Ground/Input harness • J3 – Handle/Switch harness • J4 – Pedal harness The small connector in the back is not used, but there is a small cutaway for an LED, that can used to observe operation and limited diagnostics, (see page [12]).

  • Page 5 This can be determined to exist by testing the output wire or terminal for DC voltage. Many ECUs have a 5-volt reference voltage with key the on. Dakota Digital control boxes do not have a pull up voltage, and the enclosed resistor will need to be added. Basic Diagram All Dakota Digital control boxes, (and the GPS-50-2 CRUISE terminal), will need the pull up resistor added, as long as the control box is being fed a speed signal into the speed input wires.
  • Page 6 Special Wiring Notes Cruise Indicator (Orange): The orange wire produces a negative trigger to operate the cruise indicator on a Dakota Digital VFD3, VHX, HDX or RTX dash system. The orange wire will connect to “CRUSE” on these control boxes.

  • Page 8 When pinning the plug of the handle, match the colors of the handle to the letters on the plastic plug. The Dakota Digital HND-1 and HND-3 can only be used with the 394207 harness. The colors of the 394207 may vary, and these are the known variants we have seen.
  • Page 9 Handle Wire Harnesses [J3] 394206 with HND-2 The HND-2 colors will match the colors of the 394206 harness. BROWN GREEN The HND-2 cannot be used with YELLOW the 394207 harness. On occasion, a GM stock turn signal lever with cruise can be used with the 394206.
  • Page 10 Throttle Pedal Harness [J4] The throttle pedal harness is also a plug and play style, only for a GM pedal, and only for one style. The pins must be side by side; not front to back, nor a dual row of pins. The harness cannot be rewired for different pedals as they may operate on different voltages.
  • Page 11 A, C, D, and F can be ground or power, as our throttle harness merely acts as a pass through. When looking for a ground reference to ground the CRC-2000 to, one needs to verify the correct wire. 2008-2013 Silverados and Sierras – Color Pattern of 250-2766 throttle harness...
  • Page 12 TROUBLE SHOOTING Pedal Voltage Tests The pedal voltages have to be within a certain tolerance for the cruise to operate. Testing J4 pins will require a volt meter for accurate voltages, a test light will not work. Key on only, with pedal harness fully connected, measure the following pins on J4 (see page 10).

  • Page 14 DO NOT INSTALL THIS SYSTEM ON A DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLE WHICH HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITHOUT A DISENGAGEMENT SWITCH ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY. (Contact Dakota Digital Sales to purchase part: SEN-4206) WARNING Failure to follow the instruction manual could not only cause the system to work improperly, but could cause the vehicle to go into ‘limp-mode’, possibly causing damage to your vehicle and injury and/or death to you and your passengers.
