To engage cruise control in a Toyota RAV4, first accelerate to your desired speed. Then, press the "Cruise Control" button, usually located on the steering wheel or stalk. Once activated, press the "Set" button to maintain your speed. To deactivate, you can either press the brake pedal or the "Cancel" button.
If the cruise control will not engage, there might be a problem with the Electronic Fuel Injector or the MAP Sensor. There might also be a problem with the Oxygen Sensor. Some autos have more than one oxygen sensor.
Check the vacuum hose that feeds into the cruise module in the engine.
un hook the cruise control
if its the same as mine, the on and off are on the left, and the = + - are on the right. they are for your cruise control. on turns it on, =sets the speed, and + makes the cruise control engage.
Read the manual, but I believe it says when the cruise light blinks there is an error with the cruise control and should be checked. I have had mine blink before and then the next time I used it, it was fine.
I found a great mechanic in the area and within 2 hrs and 70.00 dollars later he found there is a screw in switch up and behind the brake pedal with a "plunger type of mechanism" which over time the cruise control cut-off switch managed to "unscrew itself" which caused the cruise control not to engage. He has my business.
Check to see if the center brake light is working. Alot of cars have the cruise control on a fuse circuit with the center brake light. A blown fuse may be the problem. Check the fuse panel under the hood or dash.
Cruise control primarily maintains a vehicle's speed by adjusting the throttle, not by using the brakes. However, if the vehicle begins to go downhill and exceeds the set speed, some advanced adaptive cruise control systems may use the brakes to slow down and maintain the desired speed. Standard cruise control does not engage the brakes; it relies on the engine's power to control speed.
check vaccuum lines on cruise control and other things that use vac
There are 2 fuse boxes in Rav4s (that's how it is in my 2002 Rav4). One is under the hood on the right hand side, the other is located behind the compartment where your left knee touches when you drive. The one that controls the cruise controlis probably located behind the compartment where your left knee touches when you drive. Onur Diker.
Yes, the neutral safety switch can affect the cruise control on a 1995 Jeep Cherokee XJ. The neutral safety switch prevents the engine from starting unless the transmission is in park or neutral, and it also plays a role in the operation of the cruise control system. If the switch is faulty or misaligned, it may cause the cruise control to malfunction or not engage properly. Therefore, ensuring the neutral safety switch is functioning correctly is important for proper cruise control operation.
Did you just turn it on from the dash or turn it on and then attempt to engage it with the wiper stick?
