CEL & Cruise not availble reading
Hi Guys, i've got an 02 X-type with 72k milesand as were appraoching winter its doing somethin it did last year which hasnt happened all summer. I get a CEL and then sporatically i'll get the "cruise not avail" message and the car goes into limp mode for about a minute. I need to get the codes pulled but does anyone know what i could do before taking it to the dealer? It appears to be weather related since it only does it when its colder out...
thanks

The cruise not available may be due to the limp mode. I have noticed that on my car in the past... As soon as I fix the issue and clear the code, the message for cruise goes away. As for what the problem is for your CEL... it is impossible to tell with the information that you gave. All you said is that you have a CEL. I would take the car in to an auto parts store and have them pull the codes for you (alot of them do it for free) and then post what code it is so that we know where to start.

May be a complete red herring (what I'm about to say) but my 02 X-type used to report the same...'Cruise not available' and I must admit was fixed by the dealer uprating some switch/contact near the clutch pedal. If memory serves me right they reckoned that even the slightest pressure on the clutch pedal (we call it riding the clutch) will trigger the warning but with the uprated part there is a greater tolerance which just allows for when you inadvertantly fail to remove your foot off the pedal completely. Anyway, mine hasn't done this since the part was exchanged under warranty approx 3 years ago!Mystified by the weather pattern effecting this issue but then as from my recent posts increment weather seems to bring the demons out of the closet!

Having it happen in cold weather only does ring a couple things to mind, but I hate to send you on a fix-it tangent when the code can tell so much info to narrow it down. lol. Once you have the info (please get the meaning of the code too - not just the number) we should be able to tell you much more.

Yesterday was 60 degrees here, so I had no trouble at all. This morning is 35 degrees, so I expected the lights to return. However, so far, so good. I have learned that the codes can clear themselves too, because the CEL was not reset by anyone, it just stopped coming on, as has the Cruise unavail light. The car is not in limp mode either. If I go to the mechanic now, he will find that nothing is wrong with the car, so I'm going to just have to continue on until the lights come back on and then take it to him.

My baby is running fine, Ive cruised the freeway a few times since its been fixed and it feels good.
Shaguar, even though the lights go away it still logs the codes, I waited one time and the dealer said I have about 30 codes logged. It might get confusing by then...Id at least have the codes pulled and then make a decision...

I have to look into leaving it at the dealership at some point, which sucks big time because the two dealerships around here are booked up for months. I wonder why . . .

Aquil - it turns out the dealer was only booked out for the weekends. I left the car there this week and just got it back.
