Question 1

The electronic module's LED doesn't light up when the control buttons are pressed

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Faulty 8-pin compact plug connection, incorrect pin crimping, or lack of power supply/ground. Check the 8-pin compact plug connection and color coding. Verify orange wire has +12 V battery voltage with ignition ON and green wire has a solid ground connection.

Question 2

The electronic module's LED doesn't light up when the brake's applied

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Either the brake light switch is poorly connected, or a blown fuse/faulty brake light circuit. Verify brake light switch wiring (brown-white to switched/constant power, brown to bulb feed). Test original brake light circuit functionality.

Question 3

LED does not blink upon receiving a TACH signal (RPM signal via yellow wire)

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Incorrect TACH signal frequency/voltage or wiring fault. Measure the signal using an oscilloscope or voltmeter, confirming it reads between 6V and 250V with a frequency of 6Hz-488Hz, and check the yellow wire's continuity.

Question 4

LED does not blink upon receiving a speed signal via blue wire

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Incorrect speed signal frequency/voltage or incorrect PPM setting. Check the signal reads between 1.5V and 24V with a frequency of 6Hz-8.5kHz, and confirm the PPM setting matches the blue-line input.

Question 5

Engine speed cannot be changed in Diagnostic Mode B

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Faulty servo connector seating, incorrect wiring color code, or unstable vacuum source. Check vacuum servo plug connection and color coding. Pull the vacuum hose off the servo and test vacuum level at various engine speeds; select an alternative vacuum source if pressure drops.

Question 6

Cruise control does not operate smoothly during regulation

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: GAIN value set too high (jerky) or too low (sluggish). Decrease the GAIN value if the vehicle behaves too jerkily/sprung; increase the GAIN value if the system reacts too sluggishly.
