How do you adjust the ASCD cancel switch on 2001 X-Terra?

Cannot set the cruise control because the brake pedal is not fully depressing the ASCD switch. Would like to know how to adjust the switch.

dadielz 1590: To answer your question: Yes! However, there is a trick to it. 1. Make sure the remains of the old part is gone.
The new part will be a kind of semi-clear plastic and not super had, but firm material. I will have a small knob sticking out. That is the end you are going to place in the hole.
Here is the trick>>>>Ude a little "Dish washing liquid" and put it on the end you are going to put through the hole. Once you have the soap on it, Position the part, small end towards the open hole and then pull the pedal up against the other end of the part. Carefully apply pressure, pulling it against the new part and it should just pop into the hole.
GOOD LUCK!

SOURCE: 1991 Maxima cruise control cuts out.

I had a problem with the interlock switch located on the brake pedal. There are too switches one for the brake lights and one dedicated to the cruise control. If either switch is acting up it will affect the cruise control. Then interlock switch is the same switch that is used on the clutch with cars that have a manual transmission. It has smaller electrical terminals in the connector than the brake light switch. You can jumper the connection and see if it solves the problem. You still have the other switch that will disengage the cruise control when you hit the brake. If that is the problem then that's the one you need to replace.

SOURCE: 1995 Altima,brake lights staying on. Bought new

"If I disconect the switch the plug has two holes. If I use a paperclip and put an end of the paper clip in each hole the lights should go out right?"
Yes the light should go out, but if its not going out then switch is faulty or the short in switch wires.-------- the procedure is as follows for light to glow and turn off.When you press the switch, the terminals connect, the circuit completed and light is ON.when you release the switch the two terminals gets disconnected , the circuit gets cut, the light is on.In your case the circuit is not getting cut, so anywhere the switch is faulty or the wiring's are getting short.-------Get this checked.This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Where are fuses for cruise control

If cruise control main light comes on but you cannot set a speed (no set), you could have a bad brake pedal switch.
(If the cruise control light comes on, chances are that it is NOT a fuse issue).
Some vehicles have two switches (one for brake lights and one for cruise control cancel) and others have a multifunctional, single switch.
The function to cancel cruise control is very sensitive so it only takes a small movement of the pedal to cancel cruise control.
You can try lifting on the brake pedal while trying to set the cruise, but this does not alway work. Replace switches are pretty cheap (less than $30) and pretty easy and quick to replace.

The the cruise control switch on my 2001 honda civic works because i tested it, but the cruise control does not work

Check brake pedal switch which kicks out of cruise when you hit the brakes. These jump out of place easily so check that it is depressed when pedal is released (up).

I have code p0573 saying brake switch A is high although brake lights are working ok, can anyone help please

Possible causes
- Faulty Brake Switch

The P0573 codes is set when the stop light switch signal is too high.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Stop light inoperative

P0573 Description
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop light switch sends a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). When the ECM receives this signal, it cancels the cruise control.

Fix cruise control on my 2009 Chevy tahoe

Most common failure (other than fuse) is the switch at the brake pedal which kicks it out of cruise. Switch must be in correct position and adjusted such that it is depressed fully when brake pedal is up.

How do you adjust the ASCD cancel swith on 2001 Xterra?

there are 3 types brake switch
  1. a nut that sets the stroke and you lock the nut.
  2. auto adjusting
  3. and install time adjusting. (special steps different car from car make) found on may cars today, for faster car assembly. Day1
the fsm book covers this. (my online skips it, sadly)
i went to rockauto.com and its type 1 switch, see that jam nut?

as you can see the switch turns for stroke
and the jam nut sets it, locks it.

ASCD is a speed sensor, and is not adjustable.
VSS speed sensor. (red herring, that)

My cruise control on my 2008 chevy pickup stopped working. The light on the streeing wheel is on and the fuse is good. Everyone says to check the switch on the brake pedal. How do I adjust the switch?

after reading every post on every forum about the cruise control, I decided to pull the brake switch off of the pedal and have a look. I read somewhere that there is a spring loaded mechanism inside the switch that goes bad and makes the cruise think the brake is engaged. Upon inspecting the switch I saw a flat white bar that the brake rod depresses that engages the mechanism inside the switch. So like I always do... I sprayed the white swtch bar with wd 40 and worked it with a screw driver by pushing it and realeasing it until I heard it make a solid sounding click as it engaged and disengaged. I reinstalled the brake switch and all is well. Seems a little dust has clabbered the lubricant and was causing it to stick. So all is good and my cheap @ss didnt spend a dime. Total time including research was 1.5 hours.
Hope this helps someone else

2001 Dodge stratus cruise control dosen't work

One thing to check is the micro switch on the brake pedal arm, I had the same problem.
For some reason the switch came loose and it wasn't being depressed.
All I had to do is re adjust it so it would depress the plunger on the switch when the brake was not applied and activate the switch when the brake pedal was depressed.
I set it to the sensitive side so when you barley tap the brake pedal it shuts off the cruise control.

Hope this helps.

Brake lights not functioning and cruise control will not set.

Lift the pedal, and see if the light goes off, if it does, there is a switch on the pedal that is out of adjustment. If it does not go off, the switch could have fallen off, or it is broken. Anyways, it is under the dash, should be right up the brake pedal. First, try to adjust it, to get it closer to the brake pedal arm, if it doesn't go off, it should be bad, take it off, and take it to the auto parts place, they should be able to test it, with a multimeter.
This is probably why the cruise control does not work also, as when you drive down the road and hit the brakes, the cruise goes off.
