Hello Scotty, I live in Quebec City Canada. I have a 2001 Corolla with automatic transmission. I bought it new in 2001, it has 360,000 km now. Very good car, I love it!!! Recently, I observed that in cold weather, the cruise control spontaneously stalls in cold weather during the winter (less than - 10 deg. celcius). The problem stops when the engine is warmed up after 30-45 minutes of driving in cold winter on the highway. In summer when it's hot I don't have this problem. When the car was new there was no problem too with the cruse control. I don't have any heating problems with the thermostat etc. What is the problem ? Could the cruise control need to be replaced ? Thank you very much for your help and your good work!!! Alan from Quebec City
Well realized the cruise controls the electronically controlled. And really cold weather. It could screw up the electronics. Do check the wiring going to the cruise control to see if anything's got corrosion on it or whatever. But normally it means a computer module is worn out and have to replace that if you can't find any problem in the wiring
Thank you Mr Kilmer. ---- Concerning this problem with the cruise control on my 2001 Corolla, there has been an additional problem with the cruise control since the last month: the small green light in the dashboard indicating that the cruise control is in operation no longer lights up, but the regulator is working correctly. Could this be related to the wire and/or control computer problem as you mentioned in your previous response? Or could it be simply de little green light to be changed in the dashboard or the entire dashboard to be changed ??
THANKS
