Cruise control explanation - '03 manual vs. automatic equipment

jeudi 27 novembre 2014

Ok, I've been trying to diagnose off and on for nearly a year now why my manual-to-auto swapped 03 does not have cruise control (manual VB , no PCM ). I've read the speed control section of the 03 FSM, but have basically only learned that:



- diesel equipped with manual trans has an all-electronic cruise control via ECM

- diesel equipped with auto trans has the vacuum pump, servo, solenoid, etc. system controlled by the PCM .



It appears to me, then, that if I have a modified ECM file from Smarty that makes my truck 'think' its an auto, there is no way the cruise will operate since the ECM would be looking for a nonexistent PCM to control the vacuum servo. Is this correct? Or is there some knowledge from Smarty that I am missing?





Aside from my confusion above, what I've done so far to diagnose not having cruise:

- the cruise light illuminates on the gauge cluster when I hit the switch.

- verified that the brake light switch is good.

- confirmed VIN# on Smarty matches truck VIN.
