Re: Cruise Control Malfunctioning 2005 Vibe (bk2001)

Repair done! I suspect the culprit was the switch on the clutch pedal. There was about 1/8" or so of free play at the top which was probably just enough to cause the switch to say to the computer "The clutch pedal is being pressed!", even though it wasn't. I gave it an extra 1/2 turn,...

Re: Cruise Control Malfunctioning 2005 Vibe (sloth)

I did the resume after re-entering the expressway and the speed went back to what is was accordingly. Then after each bump, it would kick out again. Resume would cause it to get back to speed again. I'm still thinking the switch, but it may not be if there are other vibration sensitive parts of the ...

Re: Cruise Control Malfunctioning 2005 Vibe (ragingfish)

Agreed, for non-specific concerns (I hear a noise....), but for a detailed description that's right down to it, 10 minutes would have been fair and maybe even resulted in resolution. If it isn't the switch, then a more complete diagnostic would be fine, but if it is the switch, it could've been reso...

Re: Cruise Control Malfunctioning 2005 Vibe (sloth)

I went out and tested it again this evening and the result was 20-25 miles of no problem, then I exited the expressway and got back on heading back with 10 failures on the return trip. Each time the CC would stop functioning and the speed would slow down (>10mph) and I hit the resume and it got back...

Re: Cruise Control Malfunctioning 2005 Vibe (silverawd26)

Thanks. Yes, I operate the control the same way, I've had it on 3 previous Toyotas (a corrolla and 2 tacomas).

Cruise Control Malfunctioning 2005 Vibe

I've had my '05 Vibe for 2 weeks and tried the CC to find that it cuts out by itself. I set it and then while going down the highway, it just stops working. The CC light is still on, but the speed keeps going down and I have to step on the gas to get going again. I think it may be the stop lamp swit...
