CHECK TRANS and CRUISE SET Indicators Are Flashing
SYMPTOM
The CHECK TRANS and CRUISE SET indicators on the instrument panel flash when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II).
PROBABLE CAUSE
Using a brand of spark plugs other than Denso can cause the PCM to detect an additional crank sensor pulse. If this happens, the PCM resets itself and
turns on the CHECK TRANS and CRUISE SET indicators.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Update the PCM software with the Smart Cable.
TOOL INFORMATION
PGM Tester loaded with SN131 (04/16/01) or later software.
For other tools and equipment needed to update the PCM software, refer to Service Bulletin 99-005, Updating the Passport PCM, filed under Tools.
