Testing cruise control system (CCS)

The CCS has no components of its own (except for the operating switch). All CCS functions are carried out by the Diesel direct injection system.

Test sequence

  • ‒ Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 (V.A.G 1552). Start engine and select "Address word" 01 of engine control unit. When doing this the engine must be running at idling speed.
    (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine control unit
    .)
  • ‒ Press keys 0 and 8 for the function "Read measured value block" and confirm entry with Q key.
 
→ Indicated on display:
Read measured value block
Enter display group number XXX
  • ‒ Enter display group number 066
    (with engine running at idling speed).
  • ‒ Confirm entry with key Q.

The measured value block which has been selected will appear in the standard format.

Content of displaygroup:

1 = actual road speed (km/h)
2 = switch positions for brake, clutch and
"CCS enabled"
3 = specified road speed (km/h)
4 = positions of CCS operating switch

Switch positions (driver-operated control switch)
0000= cruise control switched off (switch engaged)
0011= cruise control switched on
0001= cruise control switched off (switch not engaged)
0111= "SET/FIX" button pressed in
1011= switch moved to "RES/AUFN" ("resume") position

Specified road speed
The display will continue to show the speed that was last stored until:
- the cruise control function is switched off via the operating switch
(i.e. switch engaged in "OFF" position)
- the engine is switched off

Brake and clutch switch positions; cruise control status (enabled or not enabled)
1000=cruise control enabled
1011=brake depressed (brake pedal switch)
1100=clutch depressed

Check displays in display zones 2 and 4.

Test condition

Display zone 2

CCS enabled (activated)

1000

Brake depressed
(brake pedal switch)

1011

Clutch depressed

1100

If display zone 2 does not read "1000" (CCS activated):

  • ‒ Check control unit identification of engine control unit:
    Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 (V.A.G 1552). Start engine and select "Address word" 01 of engine control unit.
    (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine control unit
    => Page 01-13.)
  • ‒ If the letter "G" does not appear after the component designation, this means the cruise control system first has to be activated => Page 24-153.

Only for vehicles with automatic gearbox:

  • ‒ Take vehicle for a test drive and go beyond a speed of 30 km/h once. After completing the test drive, leave the engine running and engage the selector lever in position 2, 3 or D.
  • ‒ Apply the handbrake.

Note:

On vehicles with automatic gearbox the power supply for the CCS switch only cuts in when the road speed exceeds 30 km/h and when the selector lever is in position 2, 3 or D. The power supply is then maintained even during idling, as long as one of the drive positions (except 1 or R) is engaged.

Check wiring => Page 24-154.

Activating cruise control system

  • ‒ Connect fault reader V.A.G 1551 (V.A.G 1552). Start engine and select "Address word" 01 of engine control unit. When doing this the engine must be running at idling speed.
    (Connecting fault reader and selecting engine control unit
    => Page 01-13.)
 
→ Indicated on display:
Rapid data transfer     HELP
Select function XX
  • ‒ Press key 1 twice for the function "Log-in procedure" and confirm entry with Q key.
 
→ Indicated on display:
Log-in procedure    Q
Feed in code number XXXXX
  • ‒ Enter code number 11463 and confirm entry with Q key.
  • ‒ Press the ⇒key.
  • ‒ Press keys 0 and 6 for the function "End output" and confirm entry with the Q key.
  • ‒ Switch off ignition.

Checking wiring

  • ‒ Connect test box V.A.G 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control unit and to engine control unit
    => Page 24-8.
  • ‒ Check wiring for short to earth, short to positive and open circuit.
  • ‒ Rectify any open/short circuit as necessary.

Renew cruise control switch if no fault is found in the wiring.
