VZ Commodore No Cruise Control

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Nice work mate, good approach and execution as always 💪💪

[@MiracleMAX]

Thanks 😉👍

[@JonnyFix]

Good stuff! Bonus footage, disassemble the stalk! If repairable you'll have a spare, there'll be more fail.

[@MiracleMAX]

Ah, if only time would allow ☹️

[@MrConspark]

Ahh the old Commodore staulk switch problem, how many ks on this VZ Max? Great diagnosis as always Max, Cheers

[@MiracleMAX]

This one had 230,000 on the clock.

Something worth keeping in mind if my VZ develops this fault.

[@MiracleMAX]

I have a few VZ videos on the channel with more complex ones coming.

Good one,still using the Jaycar automotive meter I see. That was a great meter and still using mine.

[@MiracleMAX]

Actually it's Digitor Q1585 from Dick Smith. Unfortunately, it is no longer available. I have 4 of them, one still in it's case........just in case. It's not an obsession, it's just so the other 24 multimeters don't get jealous! 😁🤣

[@colinreid7305]

@@MiracleMAX You are 100% correct. My meter is a Digitor Q1585 have had it so long forgot where it was purchased and like you as an electrical tradesperson have a lot of meters including fluke and Brymen and many others, but no super cheap meters as safety and reliability is important

@@colinreid7305 I use a range to show my students what is available.............but also, just coz I like multimeters! 🤣😎

Hi, My CV8 Monaro manual trans has a wierd Cruise fault. I can select cruise pushing the on button however once i reach 30klms an hour the cruise cancels. So far I replaced the brake switch (as coincidentally was faulty) but no change. have you ever had this fault? One comment was my staggered wheels might be a cause? (front 235/35. rear 245/35)

[@MiracleMAX]

Yes, unless fitted by the factory, you should keep the original size tyres, otherwise it can mess with your cruise control, traction control and ABS. I couldn't read you comment fully as a section just has a list of numbers. How long have you had the cruise problem? Does it coincide with the installation of the tyres?

[@lbackhausen1]

@@MiracleMAX Hi, I bought the car about a month ago, with the malfunction and the wheels / tyres. I think the previous owner gave up on fixing it. The fault is totally repeatable... as soon as i speed up to 30klms an hour every time to cruise cancels. The rear is 245 / 35RZ19 and the front is 235 / 35 RZ 19. The rear wheels see like very deep dish so might have a fair offset. The rear tyres seem like they are stretched onto the rim as well so the rim may be too wide also.

[@MiracleMAX]

@@lbackhausen1 Tyre size would be something I would consider. Can you borrow a set from a wreckers or do you know of someone with a similar car who you could borrow the wheels from? I guess you can't drive it on a hoist. Does yours have traction control and ABS? If so and you have it on a hoist, the ABS module will activate, just like shown in the video. Do you have a scan tool? Can you see if the wheel speeds are equal when driving?

[@lbackhausen1]

Car hoist, no, but I have a foxwell scan tool, but ist only a cheap one (NT301) without SRS / abs module support😢. It does have traction control / ABS but I’m not getting any fail lights for either. I’ll have a look to see what live data the 301 can see

[@MiracleMAX]

@@lbackhausen1 Yes, a code reader will only do emissions related faults.

[@darthphilfy]

Without watching first , I would look at the little L shaped vacuum hose on the top of the motor.

[@darthphilfy]

😂 yep, I was wrong.

[@MiracleMAX]

Ah, the beauty of watching the full video! 😉😁 Thanks for your reply. I hope you got some use from the video
