Bulletin Summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that intermittently the cruise control is inoperative or that it will not set around or over 70 mph. Technician will need to insure that all four tires are the same size, brand and have similar wear. Verify the Power Control Module and Electronic Brake Control Module tire calibrations are correct. Technician will now check the Instrument Panel Cluster, Power Control Module and Electronic Brake Control Module data for the wheel speeds at 70 MPH or above and write down the difference for each set of speed data. Technician will need to use a Global Positioning System to determine actual speed and compare it to the Power Control Module and Electronic Brake Control Module readings. If the Global Positioning System and Power Control Module speeds match, suspect front wheel hubs and they should be replaced.

About Technical Service Bulletins

A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
