If your vehicle's cruise control shuts off when you try to set it above 50 MPH, it may be indicative of a safety feature or a malfunctioning component. Here are a few potential causes to consider:
Vehicle Speed Limiter: Some vehicles have a speed limiter function that disables the cruise control when a certain speed threshold is exceeded. This is a safety feature designed to prevent the vehicle from reaching excessive speeds. Check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult with a dealership to determine if your vehicle has a speed limiter and if it can be adjusted or disabled.
Malfunctioning Cruise Control System: The cruise control system relies on various components, such as the control module, switches, throttle actuator, and speed sensors. If any of these components are faulty or experiencing issues, it can cause the cruise control to shut off unexpectedly. A diagnostic scan may be necessary to identify any stored trouble codes related to the cruise control system.
Brake or Clutch Switch Issues: The cruise control system is designed to deactivate when you apply the brake pedal or clutch pedal. If there are problems with the brake switch or clutch switch, it may cause the cruise control to shut off even when not intended. Check the operation of these switches to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Electrical or Wiring Problems: Faulty wiring connections, damaged wiring harnesses, or electrical issues can disrupt the cruise control system's operation. Inspect the wiring related to the cruise control system for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion.
