Mark X cruise control failure

I have a similar Mark X, though I can’t recall the year. I also had a cruise control issue. First, check your brake lights. A faulty brake light switch can disable the cruise control system as a safety measure. Also, is there any sign of damage on the steering wheel? What position is the throttle in?

Thanks for the tip! The brake lights are working, and there's no damage to the steering wheel that I can see. Could it be the pedal switch, or maybe something to do with the clock spring? How would I check the throttle position, and where even is it?

While a faulty pedal switch or clock spring could be the culprit, it's less common than a defective cable or plug connection on the component. Considering the error code, it's best to have a workshop perform a detailed diagnostics. They can read the error code and pinpoint the exact cause. It is likely related to one of the sensors, but without the error description I can't be sure.

Thanks a lot! I took it to the workshop, and it turned out to be a defective cable connection like you said. They fixed it for 95€. Cruise control is working again!
