The cruise control found in today’s vehicles is an adaptive system, using radar, cameras, and in some cases, LiDAR. Almost all vehicles are now equipped with this technology, and because of its reliability and popularity we tend to forget about earlier systems – those from a simpler time….or were they?
Early cruise control systems use electromechanical and vacuum actuators, vacuum solenoids, vacuum valves, electronic safety switches and ECU control – with no fault monitoring. So, how do they work?
In the latest addition to our Safety & Comfort Systems training course, we explain the eccentricities of early cruise control systems and give you an understanding of where to begin your diagnostics should one be presented to you for repair.
This module will be the latest addition to our growing library of over 350 technical training videos, covering the following key areas:
Electrical | Engine | Chassis | Drivetrain | Driver Assist
HVAC | Diagnostics | Servicing | Hybrid & Electric Vehicles
