ok has anybody had a problem like this?

sometimes but not always, if i try to turn on my cruise control, it will start flashing and not turn on.

when i push the "on" button it doesn't flash, but once i hit the "set" button, it will flash and not turn on. it seems to be happening more, now that i have 33's. because of this, i thought maybe it would have to do with the rpm's, but even if i downshift to 4th, it will still happen.

this is on a 94 4Runner 3.0 manual.

anybody got any answers?

 

Maybe it just doesn't have enough power to keep up the speed? When I used my CC going up a hill (the first and only time) it couldn't keep up the speed (even though it downshifted) so it just shut off. I didn't notice if the light was blinking or not. BTW I have an auto.

 

I have been having some issues like that with mine. I have also found that turning the 4Runner off, than on again solves them for the moment...

when the CC is set and then i start going up hill and it cant keep up speed it will start flashing and then turn off. usually when its gets below ~2500 RPM

 

yeah, but this is at about 3,000 rpm and sometimes if i wait like 10 or 15mins and try again, it will work.

 

had this happen to my 90 its like a check engine light but for your cruize. i have to look in the manual on how to fix it since i can remember

 

It might have thrown a code so I'd check that first to point you in the right direction.

 

so it might have thrown a code even though it works sometimes? weird. i'll have to look and see if its in my manual tomorrow. how would i go about pulling the code?

 

Any update on this? My 97 just started doing this, but it won't work at all now.

no, i haven't had time, instead i had to pay out the ass for driveshaft work.

 

lol what did you do.

 

hahahahahaha made the mistake of trying to replace my u-joints. took my friend and i all day just to take one out and get the new one half way in. then it wasn't really working right and the zerk wasn't angled so you couldn't get the grease gun on it. so i took it to a driveshaft shop and got taken for a ride and paid out the asshole. it sucked. so be sure you grease your u-joints every 3,000 or so miles and save yourself $380

 

man next time get a hold of me

 

will do. thanks. i just wanted to get it done, but i didn't think would cost that much. he kept finding stuff "wrong" with it. note to anybody in western washington, do not go to Presicion Driveshafts and Rearends.

 

How to pull the CC trouble codes... On mine two main probems I have had are the clutch switch being adjusted too tight, would pop out of cruise if you hit a bump that rattled the cluch pedal. The other problem was the ground connection that is right next to the CC module. That would cause the CC to drop out and forget the MPH setting and/or not lock in at all. Remove the ground wires, wire brushed them all and put them back in place and now it works perfect.

 

FWIW, mine turned out to be a blown brake light fuse. It probably burned out with the ratty Uhaul trailer I towed last week. Odd that the only "in car" indicator was the flashing CC light. I drove from Northern Va to NYC and back with no brake lights.

Anyway, it took me extra long to find the fuse because Toyota labels it "STOP" instead of "Brakes". It took me a while to make the connection and check that fuse. One 10amp fuse later, everything was fine.

weird, too bad i know for a fact that my brake lights work.
