Cruise light....
For a few months I've not been able to get the steering wheel control buttons to work on my new (to me) CDT tourer that I bought with a (Sony) radio that didn't work with them and I fitted a (JVC) radio and connection harness from my old saloon (where it was fine) and it still didn't work.
Not deterred I bought the bits to fit the cruise, including steering buttons - fitted fine but still nothing worked. I changed the rotary coupler, still didn't work. Got some new steering buttons (could be bad luck....) but they still didn't work. So I gave up and spent a couple of months with the radio and cruise buttons doing nothing..... Until this afternoon. I switched on the ignition and this icon lit up on screen. Trouble is now the cruise still doesn't function and this is on all the time. Any ideas where I should start looking to resolve this? It's all a bit weird. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk |

I would start by look at the low brake pad warning light, so would start by checking pads and brake pad sensors, then maybe start to look at the cruise control settings, best to get one of the T4 traders tp have a look Stu |

But the cruise light coming on suddenly that I think I need to get to the bottom of. It has to be endemic of something that others might know about - the whole lot not working (although the horn buttons have always been fine with every set of buttons fitted) and that light 'coming on' when nothing else has changed seems very odd to me. Does anyone have an idea what I can actually look at? If not, who has a T4 in Somerset? |

Well, not much help, but I unplugged the module behind the glovebox and checked that turned the light off (it did) and plugged it back in. No light.

I think you may need a T4 session as I am sure the cruise needs coding to the car.

Not used the car today, hoping the light stays out when I do, but wondering if the fault that made the display light when it was not being used (not even switched on) might mean the CCIU (SCB100212) box is faulty and that is the reason the whole thing doesn't work? I was rather hoping someone might have seen this problem before and have an idea what I should try to find out. |

You need to........
A) have your car coded for cruise control B) A diagnostic session that will identify why your cruise isn't working A car which has cruise parts fitted without being coded to the car results in this happening.......ignition on, cruise master switch on, press resume and the cruise icon lights up. If all is working ie steering wheel switches, and brake pedal switches, cruise can be engaged at speeds >28 MPH. If this isn't happening, then you know what needs to be done next, and not every T4 operator will be able to alter the ZCS coding of the car to enable cruise, so you need to check beforehand Brian |

Given an odd electrical problem might cause a spurious dash light to come on only makes me think I might have a problem in the loom somewhere? Quote:

Hi,
A list of forum traders with a t4 is here: https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s....php?p=1852900 There will be other t4s around. Although I suspect I may be one of your nearest club traders (although not really near). I should be able to sort your zcs codes out. Hopefully you will get this sorted. Regards Chris

I think MGR South Devon is the closest as they are @45 miles away and you are the next closest @120 miles away (not sure if you are in Portsmouth or Fareham - either way you are a day trip away) I'll get it touch with them first and see what the situation is, then try and find time in the week to go down and see them..... I also have two keys that need reconnecting (they both unlock and drive the car but the remote plipper doesn't work) as well as the radio and cruise buttons not functioning. Wonder what else will be found wrong? |
