MY05 S60 Cruise Control not working. It is not the CPS

[Jfox]

Little update

My cruise control has started working but it isn't all the time. But hey an intermittent cruise control is better than nothing.

Normally if the car has been sat for a few hours (at work or over night) the cruise control doesn't come on. If I start the car drive it a little turn the engine off and back on I can use my cruise control.

Definitely something to do with the connector in the steering shroud.

Interesting one I have to revisit at some point.

Thanks for the help!

Fab car, does the job and built rock solid.

I do have an issue which has been covered a fair bit but not quite what I have.

I currently don't have cruise control. It didn't work when I got the car but then suddenly worked and since may last year has packed up again.

When I turn the ignition to position 2, full power to all accessories, and press the cruise button I get "cruise" on the dash. Then I turn the engine on and cruise disappears and it won't come back on.

What do you think the issue is? I don't have access to Vida/dice but can scan it with a generic scanner (yet to do).

Any help would be much appreciated as I have some long journeys planned this year.

Thanks

Update on this thread.
What a pain this has turned out to be.

After buying a new CPS and changing it, no difference.
Booking it into a volvo specialist to get scanned by VIDA and a Brake Position Sensor fault comes up. Changing that at a grand price of £165..... not fixed.

Safe to say right now I can't think what to do next.

They did advise me if it doesnt work to take it back and let them have it for a few days so they can do an investigation.

Already a few £££ into this, i would rather try and resolve myself.

There are no new fault codes being shown in VIDA yet the cruise control still doesnt work.

Have you got the fail code list from Vida? Guessing you don’t have Vida yourself?
If you do, check the steering wheel buttons are being read correctly when the cruise isn’t responding.

When the ignition is in position 2 (so no engine) the cruise button works, well the "cruise" indication comes on the display.

as soon as the engine starts it won't come on. I've tried the whole clutch thing and since replacing the CPS i guess it can't be that.

Being the complete idiot i am, i just went to check the connectors on the steering wheel, didnt disconnect my battery and now i have SRS-airbag nonsense lol....

Go to fix one problem and cause another.

You are now a fully fledged Volvo owner

IF the car is a manual box I'd risk a 50p bet that your issue is the clutch position sensor...
Lots of info in pre 2008 V70 section including a cheep fix I and others have done... new volvo bit about £50...
