Cruise Control Error G

Postby rayhall on Wed Dec 15, 2021 1:08 pm

I have road tested the cruise control and it does not work. I have logged the cruise values and get a Cruise Control Error (G) which I believe mean G-Force. Why am I getting this error.

Hi Ray,

The Cruise Control Error is a channel that is logged, however there is no data showing in the section of the logging that you have posted the image of. This channel will only log data if there is an error present for that channel.

Can you post the log file thanks.

I cannot attach the log file maybe too big. Is there another way.

Hi Ray,

It appears that your Cruise on and Cruise set switches are toggling identically. I also cannot see the state of the cruise enable.

I have attached a screenshot of some logging of the cruise control in GPR working for reference. When the Driver cruise on switch was toggled, the cruise enable state changes from disabled to cruise control. When the set switch is toggled, the cruise state turns from off to on.


In regards to cruise Error G, the cruise control has a maximum acceleration rate for safety reasons. This acceleration rate is a calculated value based on a number of channels such as vehicle speed. The error value is the difference between the targeted rate of acceleration when cruise control is active and the actual (calculated) value.

Naathan,
Thank you for that I am changing the resistor values in the switch sop there is more difference in the voltages.
Will test it tomorrow.
Ray.
