Toyota Repair: Cruise control issue continued..., cc computer, cruise control


Question
Ted,
My mom found you on this site back a week or two ago and asked you about a cruise control problem I was having. To refresh you a bit, my cruise control will just drop out as I travel down the highway, for no reason at all. This happens very randomly and it takes me turning off the ignition to reset it. Oh yeah, this is on a 93 toyota truck. sr5 v6 3.o liter 5 speed. You had written her back and had given us a couple of things to check out (ie. the brake fluid level, or a bad tail light) both of these seem just fine. You then said that you might be able to help us retrieve the error code in the cc computer. When the cruise has dropped out, I saw the "cruise" indicator light on the dash blink 5 times very consistently. I'm assuming that this may be the code you were refering to. If this code tells you something or I need to retrieve a different code that will lead us to a more specific problem, I am ready to dig in. Any Help you may have is very appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Josh

Answer
The light blinking 5 times only indicates that there is a problem but it is not the trouble code, to retreive the code there is another step involved, it is easier for me to send you an illustration on how to do this than to explain it, please foreward an email address directly to me, tedrttr@yahoo.com and I will get back to you.
