Adaptive cruise control supplements conventional cruise control with an active vehicle-to-vehicle distance control feature. Designed for use on freeways and express ways, in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, your car automatically accelerates or decelerates in order to maintain a preset following distance from the vehicle traveling directly ahead of you.

To activate the system, press the "ON/OFF" button at the end of the stalk on the lower end of the right side of the steering wheel. The radar-ready indicator will appear in the Multi Information Display.

Accelerate or decelerate to your intended speed, then press the stalk down to set it. If you want to go faster, push the stalk upward and hold until you've reached the desired speed and then release it. Or, if you want to slow down, push the stalk down and hold as you decelerate, then release it once you've reached the desired speed.

To cancel cruise control, tap the brakes, pull the stalk towards you or turn the system off with the ON/OFF button.

Adaptive Cruise Control was designed to maintain the preset distance between your car and the car driving in the same lane directly ahead of you.

When it’s active, it automatically adjusts for changes in the speed of the vehicle traveling directly ahead of you in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance you set.

In the event that you would like to change the preset distance between vehicles, you can do so by using the radar range button located on the lower right side of the steering wheel. Simply press the button repeatedly to cycle through the ranges available. You'll find them displayed on the Multi Information Display. And finally, you can disable the distance holding feature by pushing the cruise control stalk away and holding it until the indicator disappears and the conventional cruise control indicator lights up.

Not all features are available on all vehicles and model grades. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details and important safety information.

Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control

The first iteration of the more-basic cruise control system in older Toyota models helps the vehicle maintain a steady speed, ideal for highway cruising.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional system by adjusting the car’s speed to match the vehicle in front, especially when the latter slows down.

When the vehicle ahead changes lanes or accelerates, the ACC will return your car to the speed you set.

Newer Toyotas have Toyota Safety Sense, a bundle of active safety features which include dynamic radar cruise control.

The following rival makes also have popular models with ACC:

  • Honda vehicles with ACC .
  • Nissan vehicles with ACC .
  • Hyundai vehicles with ACC .
  • Kia vehicles with ACC .
  • Volkswagen vehicles with ACC .
  • Ford vehicles with ACC .

Infants and Toddlers: Rear-Facing

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, your child should ride in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the seat’s height or weight limit. Infant-only car seats should always face the rear of the vehicle. Convertible and 3-in-1 car seats, which can face either the rear or the front, typically have height and weight limits for the rear-facing position that are higher than the limits on infant seats.

Toddlers and Preschoolers: Forward-Facing

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, once your child has reached the maximum height or weight limit allowed in the rear-facing position, then he or she can ride in a forward-facing car seat with a five-point harness. Keep your child in this car seat until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by your car seat’s manufacturer in the forward-facing position.

School-Age Children: Booster Seat

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, once your child has reached the maximum height or weight allowed in the forward-facing car seat with harness, transition to a booster seat. Your child should still ride in the rear seat at all times.

Toyota Tundra Cruise Control Not Working

Categories Knowledge

Toyota Tundra Cruise Control Not Working

Toyota Tundra is a wide truck having a luxurious feature of cruise control by which you can set the speed of your vehicle for safe driving.

Toyota Tundra cruise control stops working due to a defective cruise control switch, faulty brake light switch, and a blown fuse. In addition, broken warning lights, low-quality speed sensors, and damaged connectors also cause this problem.

This system integrates speed management into accident prevention systems by including laser with radar technology.

Many people complain that they can not adjust the speed of their pickup and the main reason is the damaged parts.

Defective Cruise Control Switch

The Cruise control switch helps you to set the speed of your truck. It provides information like – SET, + RES, on-off for decreasing and increasing the acceleration of a vehicle. 

The information from the switch goes to its module and the engine control unit to sustain the speed.

Faulty connections in the switch do not transfer the information to the module and the engine control unit, and the system will not work correctly.

You should check that connections are in their proper positions to maintain the speed of the pickup.

You should also check the socket and the wires to connect them properly to resolve this issue.

Faulty Brake Light Switch

When you press the brake pedal, its system detects the brake light switch to set the desired speed.

If the brake light switch is not detected, this switch will stop working.

It is due to the blown fuse due to high voltage current and short circuits caused by over-heating.

The other issues are a burned-out light bulb, broken switch, and inferior quality switches that do not last for a longer time.

Replace the fuse and adjust the current between the circuits to prevent the search for a power supply.

You should also change the burned-out bulb or broken switch instantaneously so that you can drive your Tundra at your desired speed on its own.

In Toyota Tundra, the fuse in cruise control is located below the steering wheel in the fuse panel.

A fuse can be damaged due to overheating in the engine and short circuits.

If its fuse is blown out, then the switch will stop working until a new one replaces it. This happened to my last year when I was driving my truck.

It can be challenging to fix this issue, so it is better to replace the blown fuse as soon as possible to set your vehicle’s speed.

Problems in Engine

If there is a problem in transmission or engine, then a check warning light comes on, symbolizing that your engine is having some trouble.

After the engine control unit detects the issue in the engine of your pickup truck, its system will be deactivated instantaneously as a safety measure.

Due to a faulty engine, you cannot set the acceleration speed by pushing a switch that is present on the side of the steering.

A Common fault is overheating, caused by the blown gasket and skipping proper maintenance like ignoring oil changes.

Check the engine compartment before driving that the switch is properly working and maintain the engine of your Toyota Tundra.

I have seen many people go through this issue due to the lack of knowledge, and I have added this easy solution to fix the problem.

Faulty speed sensors

Like all other vehicles, speed sensors are also a part of Toyota’s pickup for transmission of speed statistics. 

If these do not provide details about the speed, the system will automatically be out of functioning and can be deactivated. 

Speed sensors may be faulty due to their inferior quality, an internal electrical fault, and poor truck maintenance.

Faulty speedometer readings and shortage of torque converter clutch exercise are also the causes of defective speed sensors.

It is better to replace the old speed sensors with new ones of good quality. You can also repair the faulty sensors if they are not damaged completely, but it can be a bit tricky most of the time.

You can also fix this problem by regular maintenance of the vehicle, and also completion of torque converter exercise will be helpful in this case.

Damaged connectors and wiring harnesses

Working of the cruise control is directly related to regular checking of connectors and wiring harnesses.

There is a spiral cable inside the steering wheel, any problem such as breakage will lead to an open circuit, and it will not work correctly.

Due to poorly insulated wirings, worn-out wires, these electrical components will not function properly, and as a result, they will stop working.

Repairing electrical components or replacing damaged wires with well-insulated wires can make it functional. 

I suggest accessing all the parts before you plan to replace or modify them.

Bad vacuum actuator

This is a process to create artificial vacuum pressure for the movement of a piston in automobile engines of modern times.

A bad vacuum actuator results in cruise control failure of your pickup, which is one of the main reasons that lead to this issue.

There are many methods to fix the problem, but it is better to add a new part.

Replacement of the non-functional vacuum actuator with a fully active one will allow you to use the truck’s feature.

Rainstorms and wet roads

Driving a truck in bad weather conditions is always challenging. 

You should not use this feature during rainstorms and on wet floors because it can cause hydroplaning due to slipperiness. 

If you press the brakes, then tires and brakes are badly affected as these are directly connected to the cruise control system; any defect in these can cause a problem.

It is better to drive slow on wet roads without using frequent brakes.

Toyota Tundra Hybrid: 10 Things You Need To Know

The Tundra is one of the most capable trucks made by Toyota and now in its hybrid form, it is even more appealing. People in the United States have loved the Tundra over the years and in keeping with the times, Toyota has brought the hybrid version of the same. And it is sure to attract its usual set of audiences as the hybrid makes it even more powerful and efficient at the same time. Although it has lost the hulking V-8 engine in the process, the new V-6 engine combined with the electric motor makes more power than even the earlier V-8 engine. In addition to this, some of the latest and cutting-edge features have been added to the truck that makes it very attractive and competitive in the crowded truck market. Here's why the Toyota Tundra should be on the list of vehicles considered if someone is out to buy a big brawny hybrid pickup truck.

Related: 10 Best Electric Pickup Trucks We Can't Wait To Drive

The Tundra Has More Than Enough Power On The Tap

Thanks to its huge 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine , the Tundra is pretty powerful and in fact, makes more power than the V-8, which was available in the previous iteration of the Tundra. It produces a massive 437 horsepower and 583 pound-feet of torque. More importantly, the torque peaks at a low 2,400 rpm and this makes it very tractable in touch off-road situations. This is achieved with the help of the electric motor that provides peak torque from the get-go. Thanks to this, the gasoline engine has an even lesser need to kick in at low speeds as the peak torque from the electric motor is sufficient to propel the massive truck. However, if the driver steps down hard on the accelerator, the engine kicks in quickly without any perceptible jerk or shudder.

A Smooth 10-Speed Gearbox

Tundra hybrid gets a proper 10-speed automatic gearbox that makes light work of heavy loads. It allows for seamless shifts and high efficiency at freeway cruising speeds. The 10th gear allows for relaxed cruising at low rpm thereby aiding fuel efficiency in a big way. This 10-speed box is very smooth and shifts through gears without any sort of jerks whatsoever. Also, it doesn’t sap much power from the engine thereby allowing the use of all those massive power and torque figures. It also gets a manual mode wherein, it holds onto a gear until the driver wishes to shift. This allows the driver to have complete control in difficult situations like off-roading and towing heavy loads. The transmission generally has a tendency to shift up to the highest possible gear as quickly as possible, so having manual control also allows the driver to force the gearbox to stay in a particular gear without upshifting.

Slightly Lower Towing Capacity Than Its Rivals

Toyota Tundra hybrid gets a slightly lower towing capacity than its rivals. At 11,450 pounds, the towing capacity is slightly lower than its main rival, the Ford F-150 PowerBoost . However, 11,450 pounds is still very respectable and enough for most owners who wish to tow a caravan for a long road trip. Truck owners usually give a lot of weightage to the towing capacity while selecting a truck to buy, and the Tundra hybrid totally satisfies that requirement with competitive towing capacity. Another important feature that the Tundra gets is air-assisted Adaptive Variable Suspension. This allows the Tundra to stay flat even when fully loaded or when towing heavy loads. Pickup trucks usually sag when towing. However, this high-tech adaptive suspension system allows the Tundra to stay flat.

Decent Fuel Efficiency From The Hybrid Powertrain

Thanks to the hybrid tech, the Tundra has very decent fuel efficiency considering its huge size and weight. The Tundra hybrid manages a combined fuel efficiency of 21 MPG, which is really good for a truck that weighs more than 6,000 pounds. The Tundra gets a large 32.2-gallon tank. This gives it a massive range of over 670 miles. This is mainly due to the hybrid tech that has improved efficiency massively. Having good fuel efficiency and a large tank is always beneficial for trucks as the efficiency drops significantly when towing heavy loads. Such good fuel economy figures will allow the Tundra to tow heavy loads across the country without the need to stop for fuel frequently.

The Tundra Looks Imposing With That Big Grille

Tundra carries forward the Toyota family look and that big imposing front grille makes it something that stands out in a crowd. The huge length and width make it look very imposing and one just cannot ignore a Tundra on the road. The massive 233.6 inches of length and 80.2 inches of width make it quite intimidating on the road. Combined with the massive size, the large grill and the big wheel arches make it look massive and extremely appealing to typical truck buyers.

Best-In-Class Infotainment System

The huge 14-inch infotainment system is very fluid and intuitive to use and this brings the Tundra right up there with the current times. In fact, the system is best-in-class with its huge array of features like Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a very useful in-built navigation application. The system is absolutely lag-free and the large icons make it easy to use even with gloves on. In addition to all this, it also gets voice commands and connected services. SiriusXM radio is another feature that this impressive infotainment system gets. Being a connected system allows it to have features like emergency calling as well. In event of an accident, the vehicle dials emergency services using the inbuilt sim and this also allows the emergency services to get the exact location of the vehicle and reach the spot.

Priced Competitively In The Segment

The Tundra Hybrid is priced pretty competitively and in fact, undercuts its main rival, the Ford F-150 PowerBoost . The Tundra hybrid costs around $73,530, which is marginally cheaper than the equally specced F-150 PowerBoost. This makes it a very attractive proposition. In fact, considering the superior equipment on offer on the Tundra Hybrid , it makes for an excellent value-for-money package. There are also a few optional packages, but even those are pretty reasonable and sensibly priced. Competitive pricing backed by Toyota’s impeccable reputation for reliability and durability makes the Tundra a hit among current-age truck buyers. Also, one has to take into account the fact that Toyotas usually fetch more value in the used car market than Ford and this is also a point that prospective owners take into account.

The Tundra Lacks A Manual EV Mode Button

Although the Tundra hybrid gets various drive modes, it doesn’t get a dedicated button for turning on the EV-only mode. Rather it decides how to split between EV power and engine power based on the drive mode, battery status, and power requirement. People buying a hybrid vehicle prefer having a pure EV-mode button in order to be able to use pure electric power for short runabouts where one doesn’t need the power from the hulking V-6 engine. However, the system that switches between electric and engine power is still intelligent enough and does the job really well. It keeps the Tundra in pure EV mode in urban traffic conditions. Running in pure EV mode in slow urban traffic allows it to get much better fuel efficiency figures as compared to its gasoline-only variant.

Toyota Is Trying To Blend It With Other Tundra Trims

Owners of these rugged trucks generally don’t like electric or hybrid mentioned on their trucks and on the same lines, the Tundra hybrid, too, doesn’t get any prominent hybrid badging whatsoever. Instead, it gets an iForce MAX badging that indicates that it’s the hybrid variant of the truck. Other than that, there are absolutely no indications showing that it is the hybrid variant of the truck. As mentioned before, this might have been done intentionally by Toyota considering the general mindset of people buying these huge pickup trucks. These truck owners usually like the huge engine size being displayed on their vehicles and with the downsizing trend, this has not been possible anymore. Toyota has cleverly identified this and avoided mentioning hybrid on the vehicle.

A Slew Of Driver Assistance Systems

In keeping with the current times and safety requirements, the Tundra gets a long list of safety features and driver assistance systems. It gets features like forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. In addition to this, it also gets features like lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist. All the other usual safety systems like ABS, a slew of airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, and stability control are standard. It also gets child seat mounting points to keep infants safe in event of a crash. In addition to this, the Tundra has also received an excellent 4-star crash test rating for frontal impact and a 5-star rating for side impact. This makes it one of the safest trucks available in the market. Also, the fact that it feels built to last makes it one of the most loved trucks on the market today.

Installing Cruise Control in 2010 Grade

  • Add to quote

I just added the intermentant wipers & fog switch but cant seem to figure out the cruise control switch. the instructions are vague & say something about drilling a hole? I've seen others say that the pre-2010 models needed a wire ran to the fuse panel but the 2010's and up do not I bought the switch from TRD Sparks and it just came with the cruise control switch in a box, nothing else. Does anyone have instructions on how to get this done? Preferably with pic's? I would really appreciate it Thanks  

anyone done this?  

tightywhitey

I thought cruise was a standard feature??  

not in all tundra's, even some of the higher end models do not come with it. I just orderd the screws that are supposed to go with it through sparks TRD. The guys w/ cruise control, does it attach next to the steering wheel & spin around w/ the steering wheel when you turn?  

davidpick

yes, it turns with the wheel.  

Wow...they are really cutting corners. My 2008 Grade Tundra had Cruise Control standard.  

Its a dealer option, one I didnt think to test during the test drive. Im a cruise control user so I gotta figure out how to make this happen  

Tundra cruise control Check the following web site for instructions to install OEM cruise control. (thecruisecontrolstore.com) These instructions are what I used to install cruise on my 07 Tundra. Takes a bit of testing and some patience but can be done. Hope this helps. Paul  

Hello ohannon7, I am going to install cruise on my 2008 Tundra Grade Automatic. Any advice?

cruise control intermittent

  • Add to quote

Hello everyone. I have a 2007 tundra and i have cruise control problems. When i push the cruise control button on the controller the may or may not come one. It can take over 100 pushes then maybe it will work. Then once the cruise light is on I try to set the speed and that can take between 1 and 100 plus pushes(pull downs more correctly). Once it's engaged it works fine unless i tap the brakes then I start all over again. I've heard talk of the cruise control switch or the clock spring? Any help is appreciated  

the_greenhorn

I know this is an old post, but i am now having the exact same problem with my 2008 Tundra. Cruise can only be turned on intermittently. I have checked tail light bulbs, and all other bulbs as well. Brake light switch appears to be working as well. Could it be the actual cruise control switch? I've heard that the CC switches themselves are practically bullet proof, so not sure what is going on. Any suggestions other than taking to the dealer to diagnose?  

I have the same problem with my 2007 tundra sp ctl. Takes 100 pushes to get the cruise lite /. Then takes another 100 to get it to set. Once set it work great until you hit the brake and then start over again. Anyone solve this problem???  

I just replaced the cruise control lever assy and it can be done easily by removing the airbag but not necesssary to pull steering wheel unlike You Tube said. Can be done in about 5 minutes. Bad news is that didnt fix my cruise control.problem. Still poor response on button action. So ??????  

My 2013 was doing the same thing. It came down to the brake switch on the floor by the brake pedal. Noticed my brake lights staying on hours after I shut the truck off. Went on the internet and discovered other people who had a similar problem said it was their brake switch. All I did was wiggle the switch until the brake lights went out. That will cause your cruise control to turn off or never turn on if it thinks the brakes are being pressed. IDK it fixed my problem with no parts to change. I am just careful to not let my foot hit the switch when I am driving. Haven't had the problem again in over a year now. Cruise works every time. Hope that helps.  

I have a good as new cruise control lever assy in the box ,if anyone needs to trouble shoot your system. It did not fix my intermittent operation of the green cruise lite, set, speed and resume fx . Valued at $ 80. From Rock auto.. my next part will be the clock spring ..  

Well the clock spring fixed the cruise control. Was easy to install but you do need to pull the steeeing wheel and air bag off. Unlike the cruise lever assy, which i still have a good as new one if anyone need it. Save yourself some.money the clockspring was $45 at Parts Geek and was OEM Premimum, Dealer wanted $225 for the part. Im happy now.  

Fernando B

So you're cruise control works fine now? I'm having the same issues with my 07 Tacoma.  

I still have the control unit that came out of my 2008 Tundra. I paid $80 for it. would take $40 if you want to try that I dont need it back if thats not the proiblem . it apparently is fine. It can be changed out by removing just the air bag , the steering wheel doesnt have to come off for that . That didn t fix mine . A new clock spring was found online from Geeks auto for around $180. that fixed the problem . The airbag and steering wheel has to be removed for that clock spring. replacement.  

FYI The control unit Im refering to is the lever with all the functions on it , Its actually is a two wire communication device, which probably talks to the fuel control module. It does NOT have any contacts or moving parts in it.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
