Clio cruise control failure

Hey, my 2023 Renault Clio hybrid's cruise control suddenly stopped working at 56593 km. The cruise control just won't engage. There's an error stored in the memory, but I don't have the equipment to read it myself. I checked the dashboard light and it's not showing anything obvious. Any ideas?

I had something similar happen in my Clio. First, check your brake lights; sometimes a blown fuse there can disable the cruise control as a safety measure. Also, give the throttle position sensor a look - if that's faulty, it can mess with the system. By throttle position sensor I mean the sensor that measures how far down you're pressing the accelerator pedal.

Thanks for the tips! Where exactly is the throttle position sensor located? And how would a blown brake light fuse affect the cruise control?

The throttle position sensor is usually near the accelerator pedal. As for the brake light fuse, the cruise control system is designed to disengage if it detects a problem with the braking system since you might need to brake suddenly. I'd take it to a workshop; they'll diagnose it properly.

Okay, thanks for the advice. Took it to the shop, and it turned out to be a defective cable/plug connection. They fixed it for 95€, and the cruise control is working again.
