Spark cruise control failure

My 2017 Chevrolet Spark with a gasoline engine has developed an irritating issue: the cruise control has stopped working. The dashboard shows no warning lights, but the error memory stored a generic fault code. I already checked the brake light switch and fuses, but no luck. Could a defective speed sensor or throttle position sensor cause this? Anyone experienced something similar?

Summary of the thread

A 2017 Chevrolet Spark experienced a cruise control failure without any dashboard warning lights, but a generic fault code was stored. Initial checks of the brake light switch and fuses were unsuccessful. A potential cause could be a defective speed sensor or throttle position sensor. However, a similar issue was resolved by identifying a faulty cable or plug connection, which was confirmed and repaired at a workshop.

I had a similar problem with my Spark. I vaguely remember that the root cause was a faulty cable or plug connection. I can't remember exactly where but I'd start by visually inspecting all the connectors you can easily reach.

Interesting! Do you, by any chance, remember which component or area had the defective connection? Was it something obvious to spot, or did it require a multimeter?

Unfortunately I don't remember exactly where the defect was. You would need measuring instruments for this. I would recommend that you have it checked directly in the workshop.

Alright, I understand. Thanks for your help anyway. I had the car at the workshop - it was actually a defective connector, just as you predicted! Repair cost me 95€, so not too bad in the end.
