LX 450 L6-4.5L (1FZ-FE) (1996)
Cruise Control: Description and Operation
With the Ignition SW turned to ON, current flows through the GAUGE fuse to TERMINAL 5 of the Cruise Control Indicator Light. The current
through ECU-IG fuse flows to TERMINAL 14 of the Cruise Control ECU.
When the Ignition SW is ON and the Cruise Control Main SW is turned ON, a signal is input from TERMINAL 15 of the Cruise Control Main SW to
TERMINAL 4 of the Cruise Control ECU. As a result, the Cruise Control ECU functions and the current to TERMINAL 14 of the Cruise Control ECU
flows to TERMINAL 13 of the Cruise Control ECU --> GROUND, and the Cruise Control System is in a condition ready for operation.
At the same time, the current through the GAUGE fuse flows to TERMINAL 5 of Cruise Control Indicator Light --> TERMINAL 9 --> TERMINAL
5 of the Cruise Control ECU --> TERMINAL 13 --> GROUND, causing the Cruise Control Indicator Light to light up to indicate that the Cruise
Control is ready for operation.
1. SET OPERATION
When the Cruise Control MAIN SW is turned ON and the set SW is pushed with the vehicle speed within the set limit (Approx. 36 km/h, 22 mph
to 200 km/h, 124 mph), a signal is input to TERMINAL 18 of the Cruise Control ECU and the vehicle speed at the time the set SW is released is
memorized in the ECU as the set speed.
2. SET SPEED CONTROL
During Cruise Control driving, The Cruise Control ECU compares the set speed memorized in the Cruise Control ECU with the actual vehicle
speed input into TERMINAL 20 of the Cruise Control ECU from the Speedometer, and controls the Cruise Control Actuator to maintain the set
speed.
When the actual speed is lower than the set speed, the ECU causes the current to the Cruise Control Actuator to flow from TERMINAL 12 of the
Cruise Control ECU --> TERMINAL 6 of Cruise Control Actuator --> TERMINAL 7 --> TERMINAL 11 of Cruise Control ECU. As a result,
the motor in the Cruise Control Actuator is rotated to open the throttle valve, and the throttle cable is pulled to increase the vehicle speed. When
the actual driving speed is higher than the set speed, the current to Cruise Control Actuator flows from TERMINAL 11 of the Cruise Control
ECU --> TERMINAL 7 of the Cruise Control Actuator --> TERMINAL 6 --> TERMINAL 12 of the Cruise Control ECU. This causes the
motor in the Cruise Control Actuator to rotate to close the throttle valve and return the throttle cable to decrease the vehicle speed.
3. COAST CONTROL
During Cruise Control driving, while the coast SW is ON, the Cruise Control Actuator returns the throttle cable to close the throttle valve and
decrease the driving speed. The vehicle speed when the coast switch is turned OFF is memorized, and the vehicle continues at the new set speed.
4. ACCEL CONTROL
During Cruise Control driving, while the Accel SW is turned ON, the Cruise Control Actuator pulls the throttle cable to open the throttle valve and
increase the driving speed. The vehicle speed when the Accel SW is turned OFF is memorized, and the vehicle continues at the new set speed.
5. RESUME CONTROL
Unless the vehicle speed falls below the minimum speed limit (Approx. 40 kph, 25 mph) after canceling the set speed by the cancel SW, pushing
the resume SW will cause the vehicle to resume the speed set before cancellation.
6. MANUAL CANCEL MECHANISM
If any of the following operations occurs during Cruise Control operation, the magnetic clutch of the actuator motor turns OFF, the motor rotates
to close the throttle valve, and the cruise control is released.
^
Placing the Ignition SW at ST position. "Signal input to TERMINAL 2 of the Cruise Control ECU"
^
Depressing brake pedal (stop light switch ON). "signal input to TERMINAL 16 of the Cruise Control ECU"
^
Push the cancel SW (cancel switch ON). "signal input to TERMINAL 18 of the Cruise Control ECU"
^
Push the cancel SW (cancel switch OFF). "signal input to TERMINAL 4 of the Cruise Control ECU"
7. AUTO CANCEL FUNCTION
a. If any of the following operating conditions occurs during Cruise Control Operation, the set speed is erased, the current flow to the magnetic
clutch is stopped, and the Cruise Control is released. (Main SW turns OFF).
When this occurs, the ignition switch must be turned OFF once before the main switch will turn ON.
^ Over current to transistor driving motor and/or magnetic clutch.
^ When current continued to flow to the motor inside the actuator in the throttle valve "open" direction.
^ Open circuit in magnetic clutch.
^ Momentary interruption of vehicle speed signal
^ Short circuit in Cruise Control SW.
^ Motor does not operate despite the motor drive signal being output.
b. If any of the following conditions occurs during Cruise Control Operation, the set speed is erased, and the Cruise Control is released. (The
power of magnetic clutch is cut off until the set switch is "ON" again.)
^
When the vehicle speed falls below the minimum speed limit, Approx. 40 kph (25 mph)
^
When the vehicle speed falls more than 16 kph (10 mph) below the set speed. e.g. on an upward slope.
^
When power to the Cruise Control System is momentarily cut off.
8. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL FUNCTION
^
In overdrive. If the vehicle speed becomes lower than the overdrive cut speed (set speed minus approx. 4 kph, 2.5 mph) during cruise control
