Curise Contro Sensitivity Adjustment

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark on  Mon Jan 1 03:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Is is possible to adjust cruise control speed sensitivity on a 92 745t. When driving up hills, and to lesser extent into a strong headwind, with cruise on, the throttle is pulsed or cycled in an attempt to maintain set speed. No other vehicle I have owned with cruise has done this.

Happy New Year

My '91 740 does the same thing. The tranny wants to downshift too easily.

The earlier cruise controls on the 240s had adjustments for lo-speed cutoff and system gain. But neither of these influenced how, when, or why the tranny shifted.

There are no adjustments on this cruise control. Usually they work perfectly. Check your vacuum hoses for breaks or splits at the ends.
