Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cruise Control Acceleration Problem

[bry1216]

During the day, 1st time using cruise control it accelerates. Set it at any speed between 45-75 and it continually creeps up. Turn it OFF - ON - set it - multiple time and it starts working fine.

Anybody seen this and have a solution?

No warning lights and no codes.

I had this problem and they replaced the solenoid and it worked.

Hi, Great news! Can you tell me where the solenoid is located?

Thanks.

Under the driver side battery. The fix only worked for a couple of weeks and it died again. CC works fine some days, other times it won't start at all or it works for a while then dies. Dealer says I need a $1,100 ECM, that is not happening!

It seems the vacuum system can cause a little humidity in the valve body.

Maybe this will work for you:

I am going to try this, but also look for a leaky vacuum line.

Based on the wiring schematics the powertrain control module (PCM) not ECM.

Thank you!
