501 — General Information

The cruise control system manages the throttle of the vehicle in order to maintain the speed that the driver sets
without throttle input from the driver.
The cruise control system works in cooperation with several components including the engine control module
(ECM), the central gateway (CGW), the SAM Cab, and the modular switch field (MSF). The cruise control sys-
tem is engaged by pressing the "On/Off" button on the left-hand side of steering wheel. See Fig. 3. Pressing the
"On/Off" button changes a resistance value that the MSF Master reads from the steering wheel buttons. The
MSF Master broadcasts the Cruise Control Enable Switch Request on Cabin CAN to the CGW. The CGW routes
the request message to the engine controller, and if all the prerequisites are met, enables the cruise control. The
"Set/Accel" and "Resume/Coast" buttons, as well as the "On/Off" button (when pressed a second time to deacti-
vate cruise control) operate the same way using different messaging.

Cascadia Troubleshooting Manual, September 2014 C08.01/1

C08.01 Cruise Control

The engine controller monitors the position of the accelerator pedal, and uses an algorithm to adjust engine
speed to keep the speed of the vehicle constant.
The SAM Cab constantly broadcasts on the Cabin CAN the position of several switches that the cruise control
system uses. The CGW routes these broadcast signals to the J1939 datalink, where they are received by the
engine controller. These switches include:
• Service brake
• Top-of-clutch switch
• Parking brake switch
The engine controller also monitors the vehicle speed, which must be greater than 35 mph (56 Km/h) for the
cruise control to engage.
In addition to the cruise control being deactivated by the use of the service brake, park brake, or the clutch, there
are optional parameters that may disengage cruise control with any one of the following conditions:
NOTE: These parameters are only available for DetroitTM engines.
• The hazard lights are enabled.
• Windshield wipers are at any setting other than off.
• The headlight switch is at any setting other than off.
When adding the optional parameters, the engine programming may need to be modified.
See Table 1 for the correct combination of cruise control parameter settings for Detroit engines.
NOTE: When the cruise control disengages by using the CNCL button, the engine PTO mode is not
cancelled; only the cruise control mode is disengaged. The vehicle speed is retained in memory.

Table 1, Cruise Control Parameter Settings

The steering wheel switches, hazard lights, headlight switch, and headlight switches are all connected to the MSF,
which is constantly monitoring the status of the switches and transmitting the switch status on the Cabin CAN.
The cruise control remains on unless turned off by the steering wheel "On/Off" switch, or the ignition is turned
off. If it is paused by the service brake, clutch, or via parameter, the speed that the cruise control was set at be-
fore the pause is resumed by pressing the steering wheel "Resume/Coast" button.

701 — Possible Causes

• Incorrect parameter for the SAM Cab
• Incorrect parameter for the CPC
• Wiring, connections
• Switches

702 — Top of Clutch Switch

The top of clutch switch must be closed for the cruise control to engage. SAM Cab connector X11, pin 17 is the
source of a 5 HZ square wave signal for the top of clutch switch. When the clutch is at the top of travel, this
switch closes and the circuit is grounded through pin 16 of the same connector. Open the ServiceLink template
titled "Cascadia Cruise Control" to view the status of the top of clutch switch.

703 — Fault Codes

CAN Fault Codes
SA SPN FMI Conn/Pin Fuse Relay Description Details
The voltage present at the MSF is
Steering wheel switch circuit
conn A, pin 1 higher voltage than expected. This
49 520203 3 — — S2 or S1, voltage above
conn A, pin 3 circuit could be open or shorted to a
normal or open circuit
high source.
Action: Use the ServiceLink "Steering Wheel Switches" template to monitor for any activity on the steering wheel switches.
Connect an oscilloscope, scope meter, or use the Midtronics 1000 HD in scope mode to observe this signal. The MSF
produces a square wave signal on this circuit. When any of the steering wheel switches are pressed, the peak voltage of
this signal is reduced. Each of the four switches reduce it by a different level. Continue to check the signal through the
clockspring in the steering wheel up to the switches to locate the open circuit. This circuit continues as the blue wire in the
steering wheel switches.
Steering wheel switch circuit The signal received at the MSF is
49 520203 4 conn A, pin 1 — — S2, voltage below normal or lower voltage than expected. This
shorted to ground circuit could be shorted to ground.
Action: Connect an oscilloscope, scope meter, or use the Midtronics 1000 HD in scope mode to observe this signal. The
MSF produces a square wave signal on this circuit. The signal detected at the MSF is too low of peak voltage to be valid.
Disconnect connector A and test for a short to ground or a short between pins 1 and 3. Continue to check the signal
through the clockspring in the steering wheel up to the switches to locate the short circuit. This circuit continues as the blue
wire in the steering wheel switches.

704 — Diagnostic Tests

1. Verify the SAM Cab and CPC (where applicable) parameters are configured correctly.
NOTE: Some Cruise Control Disengage parameters from the SAM Cab may be dropping cruise control un-
expectedly, even though it is working as programmed. For example, the cruise control drops off when the
wipers are ON.
Are the parameters set correctly?
YES!Go to test 2.
NO ! Update the parameters as needed.
2. Open Datalink Monitor template "Cascadia Cruise Control" in ServiceLink, and verify the operation
of the switch inputs and interlocks.
Are the inputs and interlocks functioning correctly?
YES!Go to test 3.
NO ! Troubleshoot the switch inputs and/or interlocks. Refer to G02.04 — SAM Caband G02.06 — Modu-
lar Switch Fieldfor more information.
3. Use Datalink Monitor template "Cascadia Cruise Control" to troubleshoot the status messages from
the engine controller.
Are the control messages from the engine reflecting the state change when the input switches are operated?
!
YES Perform a functional check of the cruise control. Be sure to double check the possible interlocks
(hazard lights, headlights, and wipers).
