Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Cruise Main Indicator Light Circuit

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System(for 2tr-fe) / Cruise Main Indicator Light Circuit

DESCRIPTION

When the dynamic radar cruise control system is turned on using the cruise control main switch (ON-OFF button), the cruise control indicator (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode) illuminates. The ECM uses this and other indicators to indicate the control condition (presence or absence of a preceding vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle distance, and set vehicle speed) and fail-safe state via CAN communication.
