Cruise control blinking?

[Eric Hohlfelder]

Glad I read this, my cruise is working intermittantly so I replace the actuator with a used one and it worked for a bit, but I had to play with the cable adjustment to get the idle to come down. The new actuator worked for a bit then stopped working, and now sends error code "blinks". I will try the cable trick and see if it helps, this sounds like a logical issue. If it does, I have a used 96 Cruise control actuator for sale... Thanks for posting.

that's why i mentioned the cable on mine. Basically i "think" what was happening is as the cruise went to make a speed adjustment, the slack in the cable was causing it to over-correct and after several over-corrections it would error IE: blink.

But, i also had a bad brake fluid sensor that could have been it also.

All i know, is adjusting the cable and pulling the plug on the lid of the brake MC made my cruise return to normal.

The FSM says that the indicator blinks 5 times any time there is any error and the CC shuts down.

The error code is 2 digits: 11, 12, 13, 21, 23, 32, 34, 41.

You jump terminals E1 and Tc on DLC1. DLC1 is near the fire wall on the passenger side under the wiper motor.

E1 is the upper right terminal in the 3x3 block of terminals on the left of DLC1. Tc is the middle right terminal on the 2 x 3 block of terminals in the center.

Turn on the key and then jump ther terminals, then the Cruise light will blink the two digit code.


The FSM has detailed pictures.

Thanks. I will have to pop the hood and give it a try.

anyone find this problem. My 95 is doing the same 5 blink thing was working fine till today now works somtimmes but mostly blinks. I did replace senser at trans but mine has wires not cable only thing i see on here is cables where is acuater I have parts 80 so just need idea of what to replace. Saw post that said its either senser or acuater but cant find again. Thanks

If you read the thread, then you know the cruise control is telling you it temporarily stored a fault code. Pull the code and you've pinpointed your problem.

and how do you pull the code on a 95 I would not no what the code meant if I pulled it just wanting to no what fixed this from someone who had same problem.

Bringing an old thread back: I have seen mention, several times, that there is detailed info in the FSM, however in my 96 LX450 FSM (downloaded from TIS), as well as the EWD, there is no diagnostic info. There are wiring diagrams and detailed descriptions of the operation/conditions/etc of the CC, but no info on obtaining the code, or what the codes mean. Anyone able to post the pdf, or direct me to the section/page of the diagnostic info in the LX450 FSM? I will try the method mentioned above, hoping it is accurate for a 96 LX, but still won't know what the code means...

Starts on DI-286. The workflow begins on DI-288.

Ahhh! Diagnostic section... that makes sense, didn't think to look there. Thanks.

Tried to set mine on the hwy yesterday as I use it quite frequently. Wouldn't take. Cruise control light would just blink constantly.

Shut off truck. Restart. Cruise light goes on when I click the button. Try to set it and it blinks constantly and speed doesn't set.

Time to read the DTC code. It will point you to the problem and how to fix it in the FSM.

I read all that. Too lazy and hoping someone else saw something similar.

just tested and it’s working again. Smh

It could be any of 6-8 different problems, so knowing the code is worth the effort.
