#257: Re: Cruise control Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 12:42 pm ---- well i found a stalk at a scrappies today from a 2003 xsara picasso. i've installed it and activated it through PP2000. I have done actuator tests so basically every time i press the button the software recognises it, so the stalk is physically in right.
problem being, CC just doesn't work. took the car out and had it in 4th and 5th gear over 40mph and it just didn't activate. it's the switch without speed restriction.
i went into all of the ECU modules to see if it needed activated elsewhere and found one setting in in the instrument panel, but when i change the presence of cruise to 'present' from 'missing' - the setting fails to save.
so, does anyone know how to fully activate CC in the ECU's?
#258: Re: Cruise control Author: Joe, Location: SwindonPosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 1:19 pm ---- do you have the correct brake anf clutch switches?
#259: Re: Cruise control Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 1:25 pm ---- i have the clutch switch

I wonder if there is any order in which it needs to be done? Perhaps set to 'present' in the ECU and then activate through the BSi?

i can't see it but i'm open to correction.
when i activate it in the BSI it doesn't let me change to anything but a type 1 cruise stalk, so it is detecting its presence.

Strange that...wonder if its set-up differently for cars with the stalk without the speed limiter?
I've PM'd Steve_B to see if he can 'talk' us through the process.
#263: Re: Cruise control Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 1:37 pm ---- the option is along the lines of 'cruise control type 1 with/without speed restrictor' so i don't think there's much difference between them.
#264: Re: Cruise control Author: wagsy206, Location: Coatbridge, LanarkshirePosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:37 pm ---- i thought it was a minimum of 50mph in 4th gear.
and the way it looked on service box and from what steve_b said it would only work with 6242z8 (stalk with limiter)
#265: Re: Cruise control Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 3:56 pm ---- i was doing over 50mph in 4th and 5th.
i'll wait for someone else to try but i think it's looking doubtful on my car.
#266: Re: Cruise control Author: Lecktorious, Location: ScotlandPosted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 8:19 am ---- Well all, from what I've been told it CAN'T be done. It can be set-up in the BSi, but like skard has mentioned, when setting it to 'PRESENT' in the ECU it will not save or there is simply says 'NOT PRESENT'. Bit of a shame really as it can be activated in the BSi but that seems to be as far as you can go with it!
#267: Re: Cruise control Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 8:22 am ---- So that's it then is it?
Was quite looking forward to having that for cruising 500 miles across Europe!

Seems to be, unless Steve_B can shed any light on it / reveal the secret!
#269: Re: Cruise control Author: HDiMan, Location: high wycombe.BucksPosted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 8:33 am ---- It can be done according to my local Pug dealer but they want £200 plus the stalk to do it!!
#270: Re: Cruise control Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2010 8:40 am ---- Screw that then, I'll have a look to see if it can be activated via my standalone ECU
