2.Warning indication
If the cruise control ECU does not receive a vehicle speed signal for a predetermined period of time, or if cruise control is automatically cancelled by malfunction in one of the control switches or actuator, the cruise control ECU immediately causes the power indicator light on the combination meter to blink five times or continuously in order to alert the driver about the system malfunction.
The power indicator light stops blinking after five times on older models, but blinks continuously on recent models.
