    Cruise Control Problem

    I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL, REPLACED THE CRUISE SERVO AND EVERYTHNG ELSE WORKS BUT THE CRUISE NOW.

    only error codes now ECM 0.40 ED01 (this may be normal)

    Loop TPS Do not know what this means

    Hi 0 E171 Do not know what this means?

    B119 Photosensor (never worked) how can I fix it

    I may wish to sell my "89 Silver/Gray runs great Perfect Body, new air condition compresor, headlights rebuilt, new paint, in Good conditions if anyone is interested I posted pictures. This is a California car with 164000 miles on it but it has been serviced every 3000 miles as long as I have had it.

    Re: Cruise Control Problem

    Assuming new servo is good, cruise issue is probably a vacuum leak issue or brake pedal switch issue..

    You have listed a bunch of Diagnostic info that is a combination of error codes, data outputs and inputs.

    ED01 is the TPS output voltage. OK for idle.

    E"I"71 is an ECM input from the brake switch showing high when pedal is not depressed

    You can use BD44 to confirm the photocell is bad, and replace using these instructions:

    Mr Reatta:

    I wish to replace the Photocell but the parts stores do not seem toknow what I am talking about. Twilight Sentinel Photocell for 89 Reatta. Is it something that can even still be purchased and would yo know where? I have the service manual with isntructions on how to replace it but I can not find a part number on it.


    Thanks!
