Cruise Control 'set' light - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

LeftFootBrake · 04-02-2013, 11:12 PM

Is there a known issue with the cruise control's 'Set' indicator sometimes failing to light even when the speed is set correctly?

I'm encountering this and have reported it to dealer but they were unable to repro.

Notes:
1. Stability/Traction controls unchanged from engine turn on.
2. No traction loss during trip.
3. Speed above 40kph.

Did you push the cruise button in first enforce "setting" cruise? I sometimes forget to do that. Also, not sure what speed cruise control will kick in, usually not until you are in 6th gear.

Thanks. All those questions answered in first post.

Cruise control won't work if you're in sport mode. Also if you have cruise control set and turn Sport on, cruise control will shut off automatically.

Thanks. Again though, as described in first post, none of that is applicable because the speed is set, it's just the 'set' light on the dash not coming on.

So its cruising as it should but the light doesn't turn on?

I'd get it on video with your phone next time it happens.

LeftFootBrake · 04-04-2013, 09:17 PM

Sorry, why the video request? I can't understand what difference it would make to this thread.

Actually it wasn't answered in either post.
I asked you if the car was actually cruising with the light off.

Meaning you drive up to 60mph, set cruise and take your foot off of the throttle and it maintains this speed. Yet the second light stating cruise is active does not turn on.

There are two lights one that says cruise control is turned on and the other that says its actively being used. This light turns off when you tap the brakes or pull back on the cruise control stalk.

Does that better explain my question?

If the secondary light isn't turning on yet the car is maintaining speed as it should be. Then just take it into the dealership. Its probably a dead bulb or something.

Actually, it was.

Dude, take it to the dealership. Clearly no one else has experienced this problem, if they had, this thread would be a couple pages long with people saying "yup, happens to me too."

Get it on video (like someone already said to do), so you can show the dealership.

Sigh.

When you turn the car on acc and the cluster does the bulb check, do both cruise lights illuminate? Easy easy to verify its not a bulb issue.
