2008 Toyota Tacoma Cruise Contol Not Working - Case study

During this video I walk through the tests and checks that I performed while diagnosing this 2008 Toyota Tacoma. I used a Snapon Modis Edge scanner to scan the cruise control module and check the signal from the cruise control switch. This test confirms that the clock spring and circuit is intact and that the problem is in the switch. I installed a new cruise control switch in the steering wheel and then tested it with the scanner. By performing the signal test before unhooking the battery I was able to prevent further testing of the clock spring and the wiring to the ECU. After everything was fully assembled I drove the vehicle and the cruise did work.

Clock spring from china $8.00 free shipping. Takes 15 minutes to install. Fixes the horn and cruise control. Its a common problem, I'm on my second one in 12 years. 06 Tacoma
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
Parker Birch 👍🏻 When the horn stops working at the same time it’s a pretty safe bet to say the clock spring (spiral cable)is bad. I’m surprised I haven’t had another one in shop yet to film the clock spring process. We used to replace them all the time.

I still have no horn and cruise after replacing the clock spring. All fuses are good. Any ideas?
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
The two systems only have one part in common and that is the clock spring(spiral cable). My guess would be you got a defective clockspring or something isn’t plugged in completely.

@@ThePracticalMechanic thank you. Have you come across any issues in the past with the steering shaft bearing? I've seen a video or 2 of the bearing starting to get corrosion which may cause a grounding issue. I guess that's what I get for purchasing a $30 clock spring. Factory or any brand you recommend?
@ThePracticalMechanic

OK, I tried everything,my switch isn't working at all. So I found this video and remembered spilling coffee everywhere a week ago 😂 . I tuned the switch upright and sprayed CRC 3-36 multi-purpose precision spray (not sold in stores) to wash out the switch. Now it works. I did the same thing on a window switch 3 years ago, and it still works. This stuff is amazing. I'm working on a 2006 Avalon.
@spelunkerd
@spelunkerd 3 года назад
Interesting to see signals from all four switches come through one wire, with a resistor between each switch. If it's a 5Volt signal from the PCM, with a big upstream resistor, it must read voltage and infer which button is pressed. Some engineer must have spent a few months designing that one, saving several feet of extra wires and clockspring connections.
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 3 года назад
I still wish they had a check signal when no buttons are pressed. It would help confirm if the switch had an issue or the clock spring.

I like your thinking with regards to removing the airbag and disconnecting the battery. This can mess with a few things depending on the vehicle. I have a 2004 Tacoma, 4 wheel drive 5 speed manual. The Cruise control does not work but the cruise light turns on when I hit the on switch. Not sure I am going to fix it. This is a feature I never really use and this truck is not going to be on long freeway rides. So shocked at how well the engine, the V-6, runs with 142,000 miles on it. I get a bit of soft whine from 1st, 2nd and 3rd but shifts like new. EXCELLENT presentation. Good grasp of automotive electronics. Thanks.
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
I hate that whine. I have had 3 trucks with tranny whine in the last 10 yrs. most had 150k-300k. A used transmission was cheaper and faster for me than a rebuild. The worst part for me is the whine while sitting in neutral. The one bearing that fails doesn’t cost that much but the labor to get to that bearing is the hard part. Thank you for stopping by.

Other functions (set, cancel, resume) usually work, but today those also started intermittently not working. I believe the switch is the problem.

@ ThePracticalMechanic I have a 2005 Tacoma 2.7L Prerunner AccessCab. My spiral cable was replaced around 2008 free of charge at dealership because my airbag light stayed on (Recall). My cruise control is not working. The on and off switch will only work if I turn the steering wheel. Once the cluster is on it will never “set” or engage at a certain speed. My horn works fine. What could the problem be? Thanks.
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
Most likely the spiral cable has failed again. If you were capable of turning the wheel while pressing the set button it would probably set for you. The spiral cable must have a bad spot that causes an open circuit while the wheels are pointed straight ahead. The horn has a separate wire trace in the spiral cable and it must still be intact.

I have a question. I thought my CC switch was bad because the cruise light wont come on and cruise control doesn't work. However, when I turn the steering wheel about a quarter turn the and then try and turn on the CC it will turn on, but once the steering wheel is straight up and down I lose control of being able to turn on/off the CC. Im guessing this is probably a clock spring issue?

The wires for the switch rarely fail but it shouldn’t be to bad to swap them out. If your not comfortable swapping the wire it may be beat to take it to a shop. It is also possible that the airbag spatial cable has failed.

@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 4 года назад
Madison Duncan There are two switches on the clutch pedal assembly. One is up high on the underside of the dash and the other one is down low by the floor. The one down by the floor is for your starter enable circuit and the one that is up high is a cruise control deactivation switch. There should be a little rubber pad or button on the clutch pedal that presses up against the cruise control deactivation switch. Verify that that rubber pad is still in place because if it’s not then the cruise switch will not be fully depressed.

I am not quite clear on one last thing regarding the clock spring as it relates to the Cruise control on-off. My Cruise is not working. But the on-off cruise indicator turns on and remains on until I turn it off. Are other "wires" from the other cruise control paddle switches running trough the clock spring? My Cruise paddle switch is somewhat loose feeling. I still haven't replaced the cruise switch assembly. I want to be sure I don't have a bad clock spring. Since the Cruise indicator does work, could the clock spring still be bad? How many Cruise contrl related lines run through the Clock spring? That is a better question.
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
There is only one cruise wire in the clock spring. All of the cruise signals are sent on that one wire. So if the on/off button works the clock spring should be ok.

If the cruise light would have illuminated but speed could not be set I would have gone down a different path checking brake light status and clutch pedal status. These Toyotas should illuminate cruise light as soon as the master cruise on/off button is pressed. If they don’t then you typically have an issue with the clockspring or cruise on/off button.

I replaced my switch this morning, but it still doesn't work. The switch I bought has the same Toyota part number. The light on the dash still will not come on.

Is there anything that has to be reset with the computer to tell it the part has been replaced?
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
Nothing needs to be reset. The computer has no way of verifying switch integrity so no codes will be set. It’s possible that the clock spring (spiral cable) has failed as well causing the intermittent cruise operation.

I searched the knowledge database on snap-on but couldn't find anything that would answer my question.
@ThePracticalMechanic
@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
It could still be either the switch or the clock spring because there is no confirmation signal circuit built into the switch. If the horn works and the airbag light is off then the switch is a likely fault. If you you decide to dive in deeper for testing you can pull the airbag (safety recommended) and unplug the switch you can then check resistance of the switch. the main on/off signal should be close to 0 ohms the other three positions of the switch will have varying resistance. Most likely the on off circuit is open.

I think I would check modules for codes first. There may be something else inhibiting the cruise operation. I don’t remember the cruise control light self illuminating without pressing the button. Pay attention to the position of the steering wheel on the first start and the try it next time with wheel in a different spot. The clock spring might be shorting power to the cruise control system.

@ThePracticalMechanic 5 лет назад
That’s not a good sign. What brand clockspring did you use? Did you make sure to point the wheels straight ahead when you installed it? Might want to unhook the battery and verify that the connections are fully seated. There is a safety built into the connectors that short the wiring to prevent static built up unless the connector is fully seated.
