WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. O1 CHECK SPEED CONTROL OPERATION 
    • Test drive the vehicle and operate the speed control.
    • Does the speed control operate correctly? 
    1. Yes  : GO to O2.
    2. No  : REFER to SPEED CONTROL to continue diagnosis of the speed control system.
  2. O2 CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL INDICATOR CIRCUIT 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Speed Control Servo C122.
    • NOTE: If the fuse fails, repair the circuit for a short to power.
    • Connect a fused (5A) jumper wire between the speed control servo C122 pin 1, circuit 203 (OG/LB), harness side and ground.

  4. O4 CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all instrument cluster connectors.
    • Check for:
    • Corrosion
    • Pushed-out pins
    • Incorrectly installed bulb sockets
    • Burnt-out bulbs
    • Connect all instrument cluster connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    1. Yes  : INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the instrument cluster self-test.
    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
