Fluence cruise control failure

My 2016 Renault Fluence (electric engine) is giving me fits. The cruise control suddenly packed it in at 105875 km. Now I'm getting an error message flashing, the cruise control is dead, and I know there's a fault code lurking. Could it simply be a dodgy cable or plug connection?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar cruise control problem with my Fluence. Was anything else acting up at the same time? Maybe something steering wheel related?

Steering wheel related? Hmmm... Interesting thought! You mean like the buttons themselves, or something more complex like the spiral cable? What exactly went wrong in your case?

Troubleshooting car electronics can be a headache without the proper tools. To be safe, I'd recommend a workshop visit for a proper diagnosis. They can pinpoint the issue precisely. Cost me 95€.

Thanks a lot! I had the connections checked as you suspected. Indeed, the cable to the throttle body was the issue and the error in the error memory confirmed it. The cruise control is fully working again! I owe you one!
