Gamu Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi folks, Got a problem with my 2013 Titanium Ecoboost. When I'm using Cruise Control and I press the CAN/RES paddle behind the CC activation button, normally it goes into standby and puts a line through the set speed on the display. Now when I press the CAN/RES paddle it completely clears the set speed and turns off the CC. When I brake the CC goes into standby but again when I try to resume it just switches off. I'm able to adjust my CC speed with the + and - buttons fine. I have ran the self test diagnostics by holding down the OK button, pressing Start and I get the following DTC codes: C073_88 C140_00 C121_00 C131_00 C151_00 I'm not sure if these are related to the issue or something else. I read somewhere that if you spray contact cleaner into the CC switch assembly that might help so will try that later tonight, I just wanted to see if anyone had any insight to this.

Gamu Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Looks like I have you stumped, surely there must be someone who knows about this kind of stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 sounds like a resistance change in the can/res button which is replicating the restance of the off action of cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave the switch assembly a blast of contact cleaner after work today and kept activating/deactivating CC but no luck. Is it easy to remove the assembly and clean it properly?

iantt Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 You need to remove the drivers airbag to get at switch, unfortunately even then the switch doesn't appear to come apart to get any spray in, will be worth disconnecting the connector off switch and cleaning the contacts though. Other than that it may need a new switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamu Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Ok thanks for that, I have been looking at the retrofit guide so I should be able to get to the switch using that method. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 looks like you could possibly dismantle the switch, 3 clips holding the toggle part of switch togetther 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
