Venza cruise control malfunction
Summary of the thread
The cruise control on a 2017 Toyota Venza stopped working, displaying an error code and failing to engage. Initial checks of the brake light switch and throttle position sensor connections showed no obvious issues. A suggestion was made to inspect the clock spring and speed sensor connections, as faulty connections there could cause similar problems. Ultimately, a workshop identified and repaired a defective connection, resolving the issue.

Thanks, the brake lights are working normally. Could you tell me more about your experience with the Saab 9-3? Was the error intermittent, and did you notice any other symptoms besides the cruise control?

Yeah, on the Saab, the brake lights were fine too. The cruise control would just randomly cut out. Sometimes it would work for a bit, then stop. It ended up being a dodgy connection. I’d still suggest going to a workshop and let them check the cable and plug connections.

I appreciate the advice to investigate the cable and plug connections. I took the Venza to a workshop, and they found and repaired a defective connection. Total cost was 95€. Thanks again for your help.

I had something similar happen with my old Saab 9-3. The cruise control just quit. Check the clock spring and the speed sensor connections. A faulty connection there could cause the cruise to disengage or not engage at all. Do your brake lights work?
