Hello All, I appreciate any help/experience you can offer on this: 2003 Honda Accord EX, AT, 140,000 miles, 2.4L 4-cyl When I turn on the cruise control system, the “Cruise Main” light illuminates and stays on until I turn off the cruise control system. When I go to set the speed, the “Cruise Con…

If the cruise controls are on a stalk off the steering column, I suspect that the controls are worn and bumps are interrupting the signal. It may also help if you told us the mileage and transmission type of the car.

Thanks for the guidance, I have edited the initial post to include the suggested information. On this vehicle the CC controls are a set of push-buttons on the right side of the steering wheel (next to the horn/airbag). I believe this is how almost all late-model cars are now, as the same setup is on…

a4nandez: I believe this is how almost all late-model cars are now No, not really. GM still uses the stalk mounted controls as do others. I would still look down the path of jinkey switches as well as the slip rings that transfer the signal from the wheel to the car’s harness. There is stil…

[image] Mustangman: No, not really. GM still uses the stalk mounted controls as do others. Toyota also uses stalk mounted controls. I agree with your suggestions, and compliment you on thinking of the brake switch. My mind didn’t go there.

Thanks for the suggestions, I’m hoping someone has experienced this particular problem with a Honda of similar age (similar system) and has found the solution. The CC system has so many inputs that it seems a real pain to figure out just which one is causing the problem. I could probably buy all the…

When I had a similar problem, it was the brake switch, ie, the switch that senses if the brake pedal is depressed. That signal is used to light the brake lights and to turn off the cruise control. But in my case, the CC didn’t work at all…

a4nandez: I’m hoping someone knows what the issue is based on these symptoms for this car without just blindly replacing parts to see if that does it, Know that just because someone else has a similar car that had similar issues doesn’t automatically mean their fix will be your fix. It can …

Maybe the switch on the brake pedal is a little wonky. Set the cruise and hook a toe underneath the brake pedal while holding the pedal up and steady. If it doesn’t disengage then you may have found the problem.

a4nandez: I took the car to get the codes read and only one code came up: “61-1 Battery Voltage Malfunction ABS”. I don’t know what to do about that or if it would have any effect on the CC. I’m thinking that’s likely the problem. The CC system probably insists on the engine and transmission…

I’m thinking that’s likely the problem. The CC system probably insists on the engine and transmission and brakes and alternator/battery all be working flawlessly. You want your ABS system to work flawlessly in any event, so suggest as your first step to fix that problem. With any luck the cruise control problem will be fixed too.
