Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Cruise Control Minimum Speed

[Dave Remillard]

For the last couple of years I haven't driven the CTD very much. Been missing it recently and started driving it again. I now notice that the cruise control works fine until I drop down to approximaetly 37 MPH and then it stops working. I didn't recall this happening before. Is there a min. speed that cruise works? If this doesn't seem right, any ideas on what to look for? I know, why would you use cruise at that low of a speed. The road I travel daily has a stretch that drops to that speed and goes for a few miles. No traffic to speak of and cruise just simply can be used reasonably. Thanks

I've never had the cruise on below 60. Don't use the cruise enough to know where it cuts out at. I thought most shut off around the 25-30mph range.

Mine doesn't work below 35, or above 85.

My owners manual says it'll disengage if speed falls below 30 mph and the resume button can be used at speeds above 30 mph. I think I've used it at 40 mph, but never below that.

The cruise operates between 35 and 85 mph

Thanks for the replies. I guess I don't need to fix what isn't broken. Oo.
