Cruise control issue

Asked by Grayghost4691 May 11, 2018 at 12:20 PM about the 1998 GMC Jimmy 4 Dr SLE 4WD SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 98 gmc jimmy and i can
set the cruise and it works good
for awhile and then it just quits
and wont reset. Sometimes it may
work for an hr or it may only be a
few min. And it allways takes
awhile before it will work again.
Any thoughts?

With intermittent issues, have to do testing when problem is ongoing. I realize testing when your going down the highway is a little hard to do. Check for applicable trouble codes relating to cruise control. Around here some of the national brand auto stores will check po codes for free. I'm not sure about manufacturer specific codes? If they say the mil isn't on and they won't check it, tell them the lamp has been going on and off. I've had inactive codes point me in the right direction.
